The simple answer is "Yes", but that answer also depends on exactly what happened to the hardware at the time of the power surge.
In many cases, replacing the power supply might be enough to bring everything else back up. However, if the surge was enough to send power beyond the breakers in the power supply, then the extra power might have gone through the devices connected to the supply, including the main system board, hard drives, etc.

No. A surge strip is a power strip with a surge protector that will shut itself off if it detects a significant surge in power. It protects devices from electrical damage by flipping itself off or in some cases blowing it's own fuse. A UPS, uninterpretable power supply, also acts as a surge protector but with the added bonus of having battery power to compensate for lack of power temporarily. This gives the user time to shut down the computer and save their work so as not to loose any progress made. Hope this helps!
