It would help if you could tell us the brand of the threads you ask
about -
"Hilo para bordar n0 30" is just Spanish for "Embroidery thread No 30"
and
"Fil a Broder n0 30" is French for "Embroidery thread No 30".
Not sure which language "Fil per bordar n0 30" is but I'm pretty sure
that it too translates as "Embroidery thread No 30".
Finca bolillos translates loosely as "for bobbins" and is actually
Presencia brand, Finca bolillos.
You haven't given enough info to answer your question properly. Most
embroidery threads are softly spun 2 ply threads. intended for machine
embroidery, and a size 30 is likely to be in the region of 25-30
wraps/cm. A single ply of a stranded cotton is similar to the machine
embroidery cottons. Presencia Finca Bolilos is 3 ply (and more firmly
twisted), size 50 is 34 wraps/cm and size 100 is 54 wraps/cm.
Without more info, the best I can say is that the answer is likely to
be 'No they are not equal'.
