As Alex says, there is a bi-directional import. And it could be used (without needing anything else), if used with caution. But I dont recommend it for ongoing use on the same project. Because in the end they are different software, with different underlying architecture and engines.
As soon as you add any of the "more" that is in Primavera 5.0 (such as more than 24 activity codes, more than ten project codes, or any resource codes), P3 wont be able to read that. And if you use more than P3s permitted length of activity id (10 characters, whereas 5.0 has potentially double that) then you wouldnt be able to transfer data at all, because thats the key database field.

The quick answer is NO.
you can transfter data between the two stream of software, "BUT" because of their data structure you can not easily transfer back and forth without some sort of integration tool. ie SDK
In you situation of being subby is using P3 and if you are using P3e then its ok because you only need one direction of dataflow P3 to P3e. Therefore if you are using P3e is ok.
