No, there are many species of ladybugs, they can be told apart mostly by the numbers and place of their dots and their colors.
There is no easy way to tell males and females apart, except that if you see them mating, the one on top will be the male. Within a species differences in color and dots may exist, in some species even very large differences so that you wouldn't think they are the same species. Also you cannot tell how old they are from the number of dots - once emerged from their pupa the number of dots does not change and they do not grow.
