Yes.  It's as idiotic as us Brits calling underpants "pants"  because the
sidewalk is paved
but the road is also paved so both are pavements.  But that's what we do.

However, in some dialects it is also known as a causeway.  Probably
harkening back
to the original French term meaning of route or highway.

(for the kerb separated way, no idea about the marking separated way)

Me neither.  I'm not sure we have them.  I can't find a mention of them in
the Highway
Code (it's possible I missed it).  The section that I would expect them to
be in,
https://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/multi-lane-carriageways.html
it just has cycle lanes (rule 140) and bus lanes (rule 141).
