yes it is current controlled

SCR is bipolar device since current is due to both electrons as well as holes.
And SCR will conduct appreciable current when it is gated "on" and thus "told" to conduct. A silicon controlled rectifier(SCR) is an electronically controlled DC switch, and the gate is the terminal to which the control voltage is applied. Use the link below to learn more.
A thyristor is another name for an SCR, which stands for Silicon Controlled Rectifier.Thyristors or SCRs are bi-directional devices used to control the flow of AC current. Once triggered, the device remains "on" until the next wave of current crosses zero after the trigger is removed.For more information about thyristors or SCRs see the Related link shown below.
The difference between a current control device and voltage controlled device is that for current controlled device, the current is constant and the voltage is variable while for a voltage controlled device, the voltage is constant and the current is variable.
Triac is the current control device.
