AC Question

Got a Nexus 5x. Never had an Android before. Need an OTG adaptor/cable to use my PS3/4 controllers (no I don't want to root & use Bluetooth yet) apparently.

Is this OTG adaptor/cable the same thing as a normal USB type A to USB-C? Eg the ones Apple make for the USB-C MacBooks, or Moshi make.
