Yes and No. The equinox's occurs when the sun is directly over the equator.

This is the same moment all over the world. However due to local time zones this would have been at different local times. For 2010 the vernal equinox occurred on March 20th, at 17:32 GMT so for countries in timezones of more than +7hours GMT such as Japan the equinox would have been on March 21st.

If there is a lunar eclipse on the vernal equinox is the moon above the ecliptic?

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. The vernal equinox marks the time when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, and the ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun across the sky. If a lunar eclipse occurs on the vernal equinox, the Moon would be aligned with the ecliptic, meaning it would not be above it, but rather in the same plane as the ecliptic.
