That is a way to tell if two spaces are homeomorphic (i.e., they share all of their topological properties, including dimension), though it's important to note that the mapping must have a continuous inverse as well in order to be a homeomorphism.
Honestly, I never heared about a topological dimension (just about things being homeomorphic instead). And I heared two semesters in topology.
