Yes and No.

The real answer is no. Your Google user name is just the first part of your email address. For example, if your email address is v8vega@gmail.com or v8vega@googlemail.com, your Google user name is "v8vega".

However, Google allows you to log in with your gmail address in place of your google user name in most applications. There's a lot of fragmentation across the Google ecosystem so on some applications this may not be the case, but for the vast majority it is.

So, yes, you can use your gmail address and password to log in. The password for your gmail and your Google account is the same.

...and the answer to your last question about the Chromebook password is yes, for almost all people. Only thing that could complicate it is if you (like me) have multiple Google accounts for one reason or another, but most people don't.

FYI: A google account does NOT have to be a gmail account. I personally use my hotmail email account as my google account.
