No oxycodone is not a barbituate at all. Oxycodone is in the family of opiates (Morphine, Heroin, Vicodin, Oxycontin) oxycodone can became addictive and has the potentials of abuse. I recommend to only use these for pain relief and not to abuse them! If you stop them cold turkey you can have some painful withdraws and might even need to go into inpatient or a outpatient clinic.
No Oxycodone is an opioid usually prescribed for severe pain.

No, Oxycontin is an opioid (narcotic) medication, not a barbiturate. It is used for medium to severe pain. Because Oxycontin can be addictive, make sure it is taken exactly as the doctor prescribed it.

Noop.

It is an opiate, in the same class as codeine and morphine.

There are very few medicines that still use barbiturates these days (2015). Barbiturates were pretty much phased out in the 1970's by benzodiazepines, medicines like Valium, Librium, Atavan, etc..., because barbiturates were fairly easy to overdose with.
