For the most part, yes, a standard SIM ejector pin will work with many different phones.
The little metal tool isn't usually designed for one specific phone model. Its job is simply to fit into the tiny eject hole beside a physical SIM tray and press the internal release mechanism.
That said, there can be differences between devices.
Some phones have slightly different eject-hole sizes or tray designs, so a pin that is unusually thick may not fit properly. The tool should slide into the correct opening without excessive force.
And that's the key word: gentle.
If the pin doesn't go in easily, don't force it. Make sure you're using the actual SIM eject hole rather than a nearby microphone opening. On some phones, those openings can look remarkably similar.
Can You Use a Paperclip Instead?
In many cases, yes!
A straightened paperclip can serve as a temporary substitute for a missing SIM ejector tool, provided its end is narrow enough to fit the eject hole.
Just straighten one end and press gently.
Avoid using anything extremely sharp, oversized, or flimsy. You don't want to damage the phone or leave a piece of metal lodged inside the opening.
