Yes, more or less, except the range as a whole doesn't have 32% equity. It's every hand in the continuance range must be able to win at least that much of the pot. You continue with the hands that will be profitable given the pot odds offered (given an estimation of how well they will play or realize their equity post-flop in position). i.e. If it happens that 40% of your range will make money (or at least breakeven) vs villain's range at this sizing, then you should continue with 40% of your range.
In the long run,
every hand in your continuance range has to be able to recoup at the least the cost of calling the 3-bet. So if the pot lays odds that require you to win at least 32% of the time, then you should continue with all the hands that will do that (because it's +EV to do so), and fold all the ones that will not.
Depending on the exact positional (and range) situation the "fold to 3-bet" frequency will vary somewhat, because it's not strongly correlated with MDF. The calling range depends more on the pot odds and how often you'll win, given the exact situation.
