Yes, this style of socket is commonly referred to as a vampire socket because it uses wire-piercing contacts to make the electrical connection to the cord without requiring the conductors to be stripped.
This socket is more specifically designed as an E-26 amusement and carnival sign socket and features a threaded skirt with a shoulder and ring.
