I believe so, yes.  <URL: https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream > have more
information on the format and setup.

The description should be for the package, not the hardware.

ensure cross distro consistency, and is recommended to be
<tld>.<vendor>.<product>.<type>.  See the guidelines linked to from the
URL above.
