Is gsm the same as thickness?

Not exactly. Thickness is measured in microns (millionths of a metre, or thousandths of a millimetre). Standard copy paper typically has a thickness of about 100 microns, so a 500 sheet ream is about 5cm thick. If two sheets have the same density, then their thicknesses will be directly proportional to their grammage.
