No, the standard implemented by Apple only works on iDevices and Macs, since it uses a licensed chip. The part that is the same on smartphones nowadays is the TRRS pinout, so you get audio but only Apple devices can receive the control signals from the remote.
Phones that need an adapter to get audio properly as well are Nokia phones (before Windows Phone, at least), earlier Sony Ericsson smartphones and a few others made until about 2010.
all of those work on the newer standard implemented by apple. so it will work on s3. for older devices and sony mobiles an adapter will be needed - omtp to ctia i believe. i ordered an adapter from mp4nation just to have it. didn't arrive yet.
