No, they are not compatible.
I think there is a bit of confusion between programs and samples. a PROGRAM is the sum of all settings for a particular configuration in your Stage 3: organ+pianos+synth+samples+effects.
a SAMPLE is only that: a sample that you can load in the piano section (files from the piano library) or in the synth section (sample library).
The Stage 3 uses samples in the 3.0 format, while the Stage 2 used version 2.0. The sample converter was available for Stage 3 users to convert their old 2.0 samples, but it's now obsolete because this function is integrated in the Nord Sound Manager.
Summing it up: SAMPLES are compatible between Stage 2 and 3. PROGRAMS (which contain those samples) are not compatible, you will have to re-program the Stage 3 trying to get as close as possible to the NS2 program (in this, you may be helped by the program viewer other users mentioned).
