Yes order can equal to molecularity for elementary reaction.
Eg - 2NO + O2 ---> 2NO2
In this reaction order is 3 and molecularity is also 3.
But it is not always right .
Eg - 2NO + 2H2 ---> N2 + 2H2O
In this rxn order is 3 but molecularity is 4.
It is because order is experimentally obatined but molecularity is a theoretical concept.
