No; jack is female, plug is male. So either a RCA plug or a phono plug.
Please don't let's further confuse gender here.
Well I've certainly heard them called RCA jacks. Maybe they meant the

Just to confuse you, in the UK the 1/4" guitar style connector is called a
'jack plug'.
That's because it's the plug that plugs into the jack, silly! ;-)
