Indeed.

NMEA2000 is essentially a Marine Electronics version of CANBUS with their own agreed upon PGNs.

NMEA0183 is pretty close to RS-232 (and/or RS-422), usually at 4800 baud, but there's a "High Speed" variant at 38,400 baud.

Minor nitpick: NMEA0183 is a text format (based on "sentences"), it's at the protocol layer, RS-422 is the most common transport layer but we often carry it over UDP or TCP too. SignalK can convert and output your data in NMEA0183 on TCP port 10110, for instance.
