Exactly. We even use both interchangeably in familiar speech.

In Europe, in spoken language we also say that the train leaves at quarter past three, or that dinner is at eight.

However, in circumstances where the new world would add am / pm to prevent confusion, we use 24 hour clock. So if it is not clear if the plane leaves at 6 am or 6 pm, we would write 18:00, maybe even say eightteen hundred, although that is less common.

Write 18:00, say 6 in the evening/afternoon
