Sí. También zafio y patán. Se refiere a gente que no tiene estudios, que suele vivir en el campo y tiene poca vida social. Hay muchas películas españolas antiguas de pueblerinos que se iban a Madrid con el cerdo o las gallinas debajo del brazo. También hay una que se titula Cateto a babor, de un pueblerino que hace la mili en la Marina (fantástico Alfredo Landa, como siempre ). Lo que pasa es que la gente que vive en los pueblos se "mosquea" un poco cuando oyen estos términos.

cateto = (paleto) peasant, hick (American E), yokel (British E)
paleto = country bumpkin, hick (American E), yokel (British E)
palurdo/-da m, f = boor
patán m (grosero) = lout, yob (British E)
zafio -fia adj. coarse, crude (I believe in Spanish we use it as a noun too.)

También (unas cuantas más un poco menos comunes algunas)
churro, (paleto, pueblerino, en Valencia)
guanaco, (Paleto o bobo, en Hispanoamérica) = dumbo
isidro = Paleto. (Se aplicaba en Madrid a los aldeanos que iban desorientados y asombrados por la ciudad; se deriva del nombre de San Isidro, en cuyas fiestas acuden a la capital muchos vecinos de los pueblos de alrededor.)
lugareño = local (used sometimes disparagingly)
meleno = paleto (no muy común)
pajuerano (Río de la Plata) = country bumpkin, hick
palurdo = boor
páparo = paleto
payo = Campesino ignorante y rudo o al que se engaña fácilmente. = Paleto.
También, persona que se pasma de cualquier cosa. = Papanatas.

En Chile una palabra define pueblerino: huaso

Se puede usar con orgullo (para bien), o para mal.

We've been through this before in the forum but certainly rube and
yuck yuck are common terms with this meaning in English.
