That is depending on what you regard as the autumnal equinox. The autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere is in September and it marks the start of autumn. In the southern hemisphere the autumnal equinox is in March and it marks the start of autumn. So looking at in that way, you can say yes. Of course those are two different dates on the calendar, so the autumnal equinox in one is happening at the same time as the spring equinox in the other. It is the same equinox, but where on Earth you are, determines which equinox it is. As autumn starts in one hemisphere, spring is starting in the other. So on that basis they don't mark the start of autumn in both hemispheres. It is never the same season in both hemispheres.
It is a spring equinox
