Definitely. B-side is the correct term - and it also accounts for so-called double A-sides and c/w type things (Delirium is completely right about that fact - I'd just like to add that 'B-side' is commonly recognized as the most suitable and most accepted term). In this sense, Delirium's list is indeed very much correct - although there are a few singles in Ayu's discography that are constructed so strangely that it's hard to figure out how they are to be considered (which is quite important for a music geek, haha). A, }{, and & are, in their construction, closer to EPs than to actual singles - multiple different songs, a non-descriptive title and, in the case of both & and }{, released well before the album and thus containing, at the time of release, only new material.
An important sidenote, however: in the discussion of B-sides on this board (mainly the polls), it should be obvious that it only refers to B-sides in the most traditional sense - those songs that did not make it to an album (albums do not include compilations and the like).
