My guess is no.
If it did you would see something more like the following:

USB 3.0 Hi-Speed Bus:

Host Controller Location: Built-in USB
Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBXHCI
PCI Device ID: 0x1e31
PCI Revision ID: 0x0004
PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086
Bus Number: 0x0a
 
USB 2.0 has 480 Mb/s transfer rate.
So it is Probably USB 2.0.

But it would be easier to tell if you gave us the release date of your iMac 😉
 
It is USB2. Thanks for the replies.

Will a USB3 cable or flash drive also fit into a USB2 port on a Mac that doesn't have USB3?
