If you mean 9mm Parabellum (also called 9mm Luger)- no. the 9x18 (Makarov) is fatter and shorter than 9mm Parabellum. It is not a true 9 mm.

Is 9x19 the same thing as 9x18?
No- two different cartridges. They are for different guns and do not interchange. The 9x19 is also the 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger- the 9x18 is the 9mm Makarov.

Can you shoot a 380 in a 9x18?
No. .380 ACP is 9x17. The 9x18 is the Makarov- not only a longer cartridge case, but the bullet is larger (the term 9mm is used loosely) Unlike revolver cartridges that headspace off the rim, these headspace off the mouth of the cartridge case. Do not try it.

Can you use 9X18 ammo in any 9mm handgun?
NO- outside of case dimensions, the 9x18 uses a .366 bullet designed for the Makarov. The standard international cartridge, 9mm Luger (9x19) uses a .355 bullet. The Luger will not fit in the Makarov, and if you try to fire the Makarov in a standard 9mm gun, you may just damage the gun or blow out the barrel
