Nooo... We're talking a few more than that.
It was already posted in this thread, but there's a chart here for most Shimano cleats:

There's also this:

I think a FAQ on shimano SPD pedal cleats might be useful, but a quickie synopsis: setting aside
SPD-R and SPD-SL (both are road designs), the two most common SPD cleats are the SH-51 (single
release) and the SH-55 (multi-release).
I don't know what the SH-50 and SH-52 are about.
