Trunk and access ports are like kleenex and bandaids. Yes, technically cisco terminology, but used everywhere.

Absolutely, here's a config from one of my aristas(with bits snipped)

   interface Ethernet1
      switchport trunk native vlan 899
      switchport trunk allowed vlan 801
      switchport mode trunk
   interface Ethernet13
      switchport access vlan 311

And on a Juniper
   set interfaces xe-0/2/1 unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode trunk
   set interfaces xe-0/2/1 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members Mgmt_B
   set interfaces xe-0/2/1 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members Audio_2
   ....
   set interfaces ge-0/0/19 unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode access
   set interfaces ge-0/0/19 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members Audio_2


When Cisco, Arista, Juniper all use access vs trunk it's hardly a vendor specific term
