More or less. Besides that, the Indigo2 and Indy represent a split in the low-end line,
both being offspring of the Indigo, with O2 being Indy's successor and Octane being
Indigo2's successor. The O200 was the offspring of the Challenge S (and M) low-end
server offering. The Fuel and Tezro are also pretty much complementary machines.
Also, since Octane sported the Cube logo, I seriously doubt that 1999 introduction date.
The logo was changed in 1997/1998 and debuted on the Octane2/O2+ in the IRIS workstation
line.
Here's the family tree, then:
/-> Indigo2 -> Octane -> Octane2 -> Tezro
Personal Iris -> Indigo -<
\-> Indy -> O2 -> O2+ -> Fuel

I think
it goes like this, someone please correct me if I'm wrong:
1984 IRIS (terminal/workstation)
1988? Personal Iris
1990 Indigo
1992 Indigo^2
1993 Indy
1996 O2
1999 Octane
2000 Octane2
2002 Fuel
2003 Tezro
I seem to recall the O2 coming out in 1999, roughly at the same time as
the Octane.
