It depends on what you mean exactly. 380 is a bullet that is 9mm in diameter, but it is not the same as what most people mean when they say 9mm. Usually, at least in the U.S. the term 9mm refers to 9mm para which is 9x19. A 380 cartridge is 9x17, so it is shorter. It may be possible to fire a 9x19 cartridge out of a 380 gun, but it is a bad idea because it is too long, and because it is a much higher pressure cartridge.

Can you shoot .38 caliber ammo in a 380 caliber handgun?
No. Ammo designated as .38 or .38 special is different than ammo designated as .380. .380 is designed for semi-auto handguns and .38 ammo is for revolvers.More to the point, the .38 Special has a longer case, and a larger diameter projectile. The .38 special bullet measures .357" diameter, the .380 measures .355" diameter. The .38 special is a 'rimmed' cartridge, and the .380 is 'rimless'. Luckily, .38 Special ammo will not fit in a .380 magazine, otherwise the results could be disastrous, possibly turning your .380 handgun into a hand grenade.
