It could be a phase to phase, ph to neutral or earth fault. In single ph wiring ph to ph exhibits no short ckt fault

Answer

Yes, but you have got the terminology wrong. There is no such thing as 'phase-to-phase', the correct term being 'line-to-line'. So you can have a short circuit as a result of a line-to-line fault, a line-to-neutral fault, or a line-to-earth fault.
