I have never heard of 'setserial' but assume it is equivalent to stty. It's the same system call either way, in the end.
Yes, baud rate should work for any kind of terminal interface that actually has a baud rate... I have used it to set the baud rates of USB to serial converters which use the 'ftdi-sio' module, for example.
There are terminal interfaces that don't actually have baud rates of course. Virtual terminals, for example -- as far as an application can tell, every console window, including ssh and xterms, communicate over serial ports. You can change their baud rate all you want but it won't do a thing, because the data wasn't ever transmitted over a real serial port.
The same goes for certain kinds of USB interfaces that pretend to be serial ports for application convenience, but don't actually output real RS232 on the other end.

tcgetattr
tcgetattr(3C) Standard C Library Functions tcgetattr(3C)
NAME
tcgetattr - get the parameters associated with the terminal
SYNOPSIS
#include <termios.h>
int tcgetattr(int fildes, struct termios *termios_p);
DESCRIPTION
The tcgetattr() function gets the parameters associated with the terminal referred to by fildes and stores them in the termios structure
(see termio(7I)) referenced by termios_p. The fildes argument is an open file descriptor associated with a terminal.
The termios_p argument is a pointer to a termios structure.
The tcgetattr() operation is allowed from any process.
If the terminal device supports different input and output baud rates, the baud rates stored in the termios structure returned by tcge-
tattr() reflect the actual baud rates, even if they are equal. If differing baud rates are not supported, the rate returned as the output
baud rate is the actual baud rate. If the terminal device does not support split baud rates, the input baud rate stored in the termios
structure will be 0.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The tcgetattr() function will fail if:
EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal.
