Yes they do. If you look at the tube data you can tell if two tubes have the same pin out. You can also tell how much current they will draw in your circuit and what the gain will be, etc...Tube swapping (between different types) is not done "willy-nilly".
The 12au7 and the 6cg7 are very close and are (for the most part) electrically interchangeable but that doesn't mean you can just pull the 12au7 and jam the 6cg7 into the socket.
Do not install a tube unless you know for sure that it will not burn up your unit.
