No - superfine sugar probably means caster sugar, which is basically the same as normal, white granulated sugar but milled into finer grains. Confectioner's sugar is also called icing sugar or powdered sugar and has been milled right down to a fine powder.
The answer is - they aren't directly substitutable - you might be able to do it in some recipes, but it will depend on what you're making.

Is confectioners' sugar the same as cane sugar?
Cane sugar is sucrose which has been extracted from sugarcane, a tropical plant which produces naturally high concentrations of this sweet substance. Humans have been utilizing cane sugar in cooking for hundreds of years, and cane sugar was at one point a major element in global trade. Today, most markets carry cane sugar in a variety of forms, from minimally processed raw sugar to sugar cubes; cane sugar typically tends to be a more expensive form of sucrose, but many people prefer it because they believe it has a superior flavor. Castor or caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar in Britain, so named because the grains are small enough to fit though a sugar "caster" or sprinkler. It is sold as "superfine" sugar in the United States. Because of its fineness, it dissolves more quickly than regular white sugar, and so is especially useful in meringues and cold liquids. It is not as fine as confectioner's sugar, which has been crushed mechanically (and generally mixed with a little starch to keep it from clumping).
