No. The term serial port refers to the older 9 or 25 pin, male connectors on the back of a PC. They were used for connecting to modems, certain printers, and mice.A USB port, while it is technically a type of serial port, it is incompatible with the old type of serial port.

What are loop-back plugs?
Exact definition of loop-back plugs will depend on what application we are talking about. Mostly these are connector plugs with a metal inside to short two electrical signals. There can be loopback plugs for different applications. These can be for a serial port or an Ethernet port or loopback plugs for specific signals on a connector or on a printed circuit board. These are very useful for debugging and testing an electronics problem. E.g. one can do a loopback on PC serial port's Transmit and Receive (Tx and Rx) lines using a loopback plug or a metal short to see if the serial port is working fine. Similarly Ethernet ports can be tested with a loop-back plug made for the purpose. - Neeraj Sharma

Usually, because a serial port doesn't have to deal with the problem of signal skew that can jumble the data on a parallel port and gets worse proportional to distance.
