Yes, 030 is an abreviation of 68030, you will also see from time to time, mention of 040 and 060 which are the same as 68040 and 68060.
Other chip numbers which may also be abreviated include '881 (68881), '882 (68882) and '551 (68851).

When you plug an accelerator into an amiga it takes over from the factory fitted processor, so the 68000 is effectively disabled.

Enter bboah in google and it will take you to a site that gives a lot of information on most amiga hardware.
It lists nearly 40 accelerators for the amiga 500 alone, plus tech specs on them such as how much memory can be fitted.
Find an accelerator on ebay, ebid or amibay and look up the details on bboah.
