First of all, Gypsum is a mineral, and Rock Gypsum is a rock, don't get them confused. Second of all, no they aren't. Rock Gypsum is a sedimentary rock, and an alternate name for it is Alabaster.
Some sedimentary rock is formed this way; chemical sedimentary rock formed from evaporites, like rock salt, and rock gypsum.
chemical
Chemical sedimentary rock is created by precipitation of minerals out of, or evaporation from, saturated solutions that are high in dissolved minerals. Rock gypsum and rock salt are two examples.
Sedimentary rock is composed of a variety of sediments, ranging from clay sized particles to boulders, which have been compacted and cemented together. Chemical sedimentary rocks can be principally composed of precipitated calcite, gypsum or halite. Organic sedimentary rock can consist of shells or partially decomposed plants.

Gypsum is actually a major rock forming mineral. Rock gypsum is a chemical sedimentary rock.
Gypsum and Rock Salt are two examples of chemical rocks (sedimentary rocks).
Rock salt, rock gypsum, and sometimes limestone.
Rock gypsum is a sedimentary rock. These rocks can be transparent or opaque. Examples could be chalk and chalk boards.

yes and no because sedementary is a type of rock but it is not a rock like gypsum.
Rock salt and rock gypsum are common examples of a group of chemical sedimentary rocks called evaporities. When a sedimentary rock consists of angular, grave sized particles is breccia.
