Are they the things I know as "char siu bao"?

Three white steamed buns in a bamboo steamer, with the dark red/orange pork filling spilling out.

Wikipedia seems to think they're very similar, at least. I haven't heard the term "hum bao" and am drawing a blank on finding a Chinese character that corresponds to "hum" in this situation... though, oh, possibly "hum bao" might come from the Vietnamese name?

Anyway, I'll definitely include these next time, yes!
