Yeah, C and Rust work the same way here (as far as I can tell). Rust can also define type aliases (with the 'type' keyword) but they're not new types much like C typedefs. The only advantage of Rust in this case is that its tuple syntax can be a bit nicer than C structs and the language supports overloading so that you can reimplement the comparison operators for instance (or do more complicated things, for instance if you have a "decibel" type that must have a special addition implementation)
