Yep. Usually you end up with SOOW anyways, since type SOOW actually is an acceptable SO subsitute, and most manufacturers have switched to just manufacturing SOOW. I'm not even sure you can buy "normal" SO cord anymore.
S = Severge service cord. O = Oil Reistant outer Jacket O = Oil resistant wire insulation. W = CSA Weather and water resistant. Mainly you want to avoid the 'SJ' variant (aka SJOOW) since that is typically thinner cord. Many/most round extension cords are type SJ.
