Do usb-C jacks work with prior plugs? 

I'm visiting my brother and SIL and I have a charger plugged in for my
phone and my Bose Hearphones.  They are old (Sold from 2017 - 2020) and
use the previous USB connection, before C, but I don't know the name,
mini, semi-mini???

They are not reversible. 

My brother is ailing and they have a caretaker so he won't be alone when
SIL goes out, and he has a charger but sometimes he's been using my
charger, and that's fine, but just now, I saw that he'd plugged his
phone not into the USB-C cable that is there, but the other one for the
bluetooth headphones/hearing aids.  I'm in Peru and my Spanish isn't the
best so we barely talk to each other, but when I looked at it, he
unplugged it and plugged it back in and the screen lit up, like screens
do when chargers are connected.   So I guess USB-C jacks accept some
prior plugs, right?   That's pretty surprising. 

(SCAII think it's micro-usb but it's shaped like the original part of
Micro-B, before it had 2 parts.
