Yes. 'ZZ Plant' is the common trade name for Zamioculcas zamiifolia, the genus's single species; every cultivar in this catalogue, including Raven and the dwarf forms, is a selection of that one species.
Variegated colour breaks (Variegata, Lucky) are less vigorous chimeric sports with reduced chlorophyll-bearing tissue, propagated far more slowly than the standard species or the near-black Raven cultivar, both of which propagate at normal speed by rhizome division.
