Probably yes, but there might be an alternative, see below. But as far as I understand, Unit is a Turbo Pascal concept, so any Pascal programming dialect that predates it, probably don't understand it.
True, and before units in Turbo Pascal(*) and Modules in Extended Pascal, nothing was standardized about breaking up the source into multiple parts.
Most dialects either adopted some form of C "extern" like handling, and the more advanced ones some form of Modula2 derived modules, either directly, or via the lengthy Extended Pascal standardization process.
(*) Turbo Pascal was strictly not a standard, but influential enough to set one.
