I've never heard it called GNU standard but of course it is a common notation (see INFO: Object Hungarian Notation Naming Conventions for VB[^]). However again Hungarian notation should not be used when writing .NET based software (see Design Guidelines for Class Library Developers[^], especially the Field Usage Guidelines[^]).
