USB 3 operates on different hardware signals. USB 3 hubs do contain
USB 3 and USB 2.0 hubs inside them.
The USB 2.0 data is sent on the D+/D- differential pair, while the USB
3 data uses dedicated Superspeed
differential pairs for RX and TX.

Valid USB 1.0 and 1.1 packets can be dissected as USB 2.0. However,
this is not always true the other way round.
For example USB 1.1 device won't understand SPLIT packet. Fortunately
compliant USB 2.0 Host won't ever send SPLIT
to the USB 1.1 device as this PID can only be sent on High Speed link
(which was introduced in USB 2.0).

USB 1.0 and 1.1, did feature Low- and Full- speed transmission speeds.
USB 2.0 features Low-, Full- and High- speed transmission speeds.

As the proposed Link-Layer Header Type operates on packet level, it
has no information about the speed the packet was transmitted at.

Yes. PID is 4 bits long. The first byte contains PID and completed PID.
