Yes. The note is the same whether the stem goes up or down.

Why are quavers in music sometimes upside down?

It is just about the presentation of the music (how it looks). If the stem of every note on the stave was the same, the stems would go too far up and if there's a stave above that one,stems would encroach on where extra 'leger lines' would be drawn and the music would look messy. By turning the stem 'upside-down', the stem drops down the stave instead, making the music look neater.It DOES NOT change the timing or pitch of any note.

Why do some musical pieces start and finish on the same note?

A song usually begins and starts in the same key, but it doesn't always have to start and end with the same note. However, the last note of a melody can help you guess the key in which that melody was written. For example, if we have a song and it ends with a C, than the key should be C major or minor. The chord formed on the tonic note -(the tonic being C, in our example) is the most significant chord in a key. To maintain the tonality, our song should finish with the C note (which is the first note of the tonic chord) and start with a note which is contained in the tonic chord (either C, E/Eb, or G). Most of the composers prefer to start with the first note of the chord, so that's why there numerous cases in which the music starts and ends with the same note.
