Not quite. There are multiple EBCDIC code pages and multiple EBCDIC code pages, but ASCII is a single 7-bit character set. There are multiple code pages that match ASCII at 0-127 or a proper subset of that, e.g., 437, 850, 8859-*.
UTF-16 is a transform of Unicode, encoding 20-bit bytes using 16-bit bytes or pairs of them. The different code pages indicate the order of the 8-bit bytes within the 16-bit bytes; all else is the same. UTF-8 is also a Unicode transform, and includes the same characters as UTF-16. There are characters not included in Unicode, but I don't know of any sch that are in an EBCDIC code page. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

UTF-8 uses up to 32 bits and incorporates all languages include several DBCS languages from Asia.
