In theory, yes, it is. Remember, this has nothing to do with how fast your Internet is. It only pertains to how fast you can trasfer data between your networked devices, not your Internet speed. Your ISP contract determines your Internet speed, which is how fast you can serf, send and receive streaming multimedia, and upload and download files from the Internet.
Yes, there are 1 Gigabyte wireless adapters now, but again, this only pertains to your internal network transfer speeds, not your Internet speeds. Currently, the fastest Internet speeds goes through fiber optics. However, the ISP still determines how fast a given Internet connection will be. Usually, homes are given the slowest options, and business can purchase faster speeds than is available for homes. Governments have their own stuff, and so have the fastest speeds, as do Universities and research facilities.
I watched an Online presentation of what is referred to as Internet 2, which is ran on fiber optics, and allows a doctor in one part of the world to operate via robotics on another person on the opposite side of the world, in Real Time. It is THAT FAST. WOW!!

In this case, yes, your 300 Mbps wireless would be faster than the 100 Mbps. Keep in mind though that consumer 1000 Mbps (or 1 Gbps) is available. Also consider that for typical home users the bottleneck is not the speed from the PC to the router. The bottleneck is actually the service speed from your broadband provider (generally well below the 100 Mbps).

I agree with the first answer, but I would like to add that "LAN" means Local Area Network, and does not pertain to a wired network necessarily. You can have a wired (CAT5 or CAT6) LAN or you can have a wireless LAN. The CAT6 UTP wired LAN is capable of 1Gb/s. "UTP" is Unshielded Twited Pair.
