A Dictatorship is a form of government- it's the form of government when one person, or less frequently a small group of people, have full control of the country, and use various means (usually involving the military, law enforcement, and/or Propaganda) to keep themselves in control.

Totalitarianism is a political system- in other words, it's the way politics functions in a government, and how a country allows its government to function. Totalitarian governments have total (hence the name) control of their people, and recognize few, if any, restraints on their power.

The terms are often seen as interchangeable, because dictatorships since the early 20th century have often been totalitarian. However, this is incorrect as they are two separate concepts.

YES, TRUE. The two types of authoritarian governments are dictatorships and totalitarianism. So yes, it's an authoritarian government.
