Yups, same basic design. Most will interchange parts with little/no fitting.
There are also some variations - for example, the Sistema, which was made on Colt tooling, etc. in South America. There is also the Ballester Molina, which is just like the 1911 except it has no grip safety (neither did John Browning's original design - it was added at the request of the US Army Cavalry).
If you want into the 1911 game for *cheap* with a good quality gun, look at the current production Rock Island Armory stuff. I have a basic GI model, less than $400 out the door, and only had a few jams in the first hundred rounds or so. The other 1900 rounds I've put thru it have been flawless...
