Not always.
Usually yes.
Reverse example - TLC technology in SSD
Yes, it's the same. Just one word is international - a beat, the second is not. On the other hand, a bit determines the position of a bit in a physical register. The phrase "bit in the 7th digit" can mean, depending on the architecture (Intel or Motorola), completely different numbers.
If "bit" is used to denote the amount of information, then, of course, this is not the same thing.
If "bit" is used in the sense of "position within a binary number", such as "most significant bit", then it is the same as "(binary) digit" (saying "highest binary digit" is also possible).
If "digit" is used in a non-binary number, then the equivalence automatically disappears, because in positional number systems with a base other than two, one bit is obviously not one bit.
