Although salt and pepper are two very common spices, which we generally consider to be basically similar, nothing could be further from the truth. They are totally different types of substances. They are only similar in appearance.
Salt is a mineral, and in fact for the most part, it is a pure compound. What this means is that it contains only one chemical compound, Sodium Chloride. Sodium Chloride is soluble in water. So, for salt, the answer is yes.
Pepper, on the other hand, is not a pure substance at all; rather, it consists of finely ground peppercorns, which grow on a pepper plant much like berries. Thus, as organic matter, they contain an astonishing assortment of chemical compounds, proteins, biological structures, fats, minerals, hormones, and all that 'life' requires. Each of these, in turn are composed of less and less complex levels of chemical diversity. In all, there will be thousands of distinct chemical compounds that comprise what we call 'pepper' and which looks so very similar to 'salt.' Each of these compounds will have its own physical and chemical properties, and each may or may not be soluble in water.
