They have gradually been getting away from that. Originally, he was a teen aged genius, who couldn't afford a car or anything, so he wanted to use his spider powers to make money. Apparently, neither Peter Parker nor Stan Lee realized that if he could invent a super strong, biodegradable polymer like his webs, and a shooter to spin them out, he could get a dozen valuable patents and make millions.
So they had to get away from that. In Secret Wars, years ago, they gave him his black costume (the symbiote that later became Venom) which could shoot webs and never needed to be refilled. (He used to run out of web fluid a lot in the early days.)
Then, in the movie, the mutated him so that he had glands in his wrists that would make silk. This is more reasonable, but a little more disgusting than the original version. I can see why they didn't do that, originally.
But, to answer your question, no, it isn't the same thing as 'spunk'. Does YOURS form webs strong enough to stop fleeing criminals...?
That could be a great ad campaign:
"What can YOUR spunk do....?"

If you are meaning that he fires his webbing from his wrists, then yes. At first, this was not the case. As it is pointed out in a previous comment, his webbing came from shooters that Peter Parker invented--along with the webbing. I believe the reason the creators decided this was that they thought by showing a 15 year old kid shooting webs from his wrists would freak people out back then. So, they made him into a boy genius and had him invent his webbings. Since then, they have had other ways of Peter Parker have webbing. The first being the Venom suit which could produce the webbing. And now, through recent events, he has organic webbing instead of using the web shooters. In other words, Peter Parker can produce his own webbing naturally--just like in the movie.

Correction!! He only does that in the movies. But in the Comic book series he relies on canisters of webbing peter parker makes himself.
