15 px = 11.25 pt at the standard CSS 96dpi reference.
The conversion uses the fixed relationship 1px = 0.75 pt (CSS standard: 96px = 72pt, root font size 16px). Your browser may use a different root font size if the site overrides html{font-size}.

For pt and px, yes — CSS fixes 1px = 0.75pt at 96dpi. For rem and em it depends on the font size: 16px is the browser default root, but sites can override it.
Design tools (Illustrator, Word) work in points, while CSS works in px/rem. Converting keeps typography consistent between design handoffs and code.
