Yes! All Transporters, Buses, Vanagons & Trucks are "Type 2", with the
specific designation specified from there (251, 225, 214, etc)

The "T" designation comes from the run of vehicle:
  T1a - 1950-1955 "Barndoor" Split-Window Bus
  T1b - 1956-1967 Split-Window Bus
  T2  - 1968-1979 "Bay Window" Bus
  T3  - 1980-1992 Vanagon & Transporter
  T4  - 1993-2003 Eurovan/Caravelle
  T5  - 2004-

Hope that helps,

~Rich Barker
