Not quite.
It is a RailSounds 4 board incorrectly labeled RS3.
But only the boards made at the two US vendors were mistakenly screened RS3.
The boards from the two Chinese vendors are properly labeled RS4.

A butt-load of those RS3 labeled boards are out there, I checked half a dozen at random in my parts box, all were screened RS3. AAMOF, I can't find one that isn't labeled RS3.
Here's a photo showing a properly labeled RS4 audio board, so yes, they do exist.
As I mentioned above, the error wasn't corrected until Lionel's electronics production moved offshore in 2002-2003. But you're right in that there are probably more boards out there incorrectly labeled RS3.
