no, all oceans do not have the same salt content. The salt content of an ocean depends apon the climatic conditions in that region. Humidity is responsible for the salinity of the oceans.If the temperature at that region is greater, then the sea water that evaporates and leaves the salt as a precipitate is also more.That is what causes the difference in the salt content from one sea to another.

Salinity is below average in places where large amounts of fresh water enters the ocean. Salinity tends to be above average in the areas that are extremely hot or cold. Salinity may also be above average in polar waters.

The ocean does not have uniform salt levels. The salt concentrations vary based on the depth of the water and the temperature.
