Yes they are.... It's not like mixing up rocker arms and shafts. Things like that tend to develop a wear pattern and need to go back together with it's original brother.

Fork tubes do have a bushing inside that they slide through and wear with but I don't believe any performance will be lost or damage done by swapping tubes from left to right.
