By "dealloc" do you mean free? If so, then no they are not equivalent,
'delete' also calls the objects destructor. You should always "delete"
something you "new" and "free" something you "malloc".
is it more efficent ?

It is neither more or less efficient.
can "delete" be used on variable of any type?

It can be used on any pointer type as long as the object pointed to was
created with "new".
