What is the difference between this USB 3.0 'adapter' and a 'gender changer'.
In other words, my Microsoft Surface has a USB-C port. Can I use this USB adapter together with a USB-C to USB-A (male) cable to connect a USB memory stick (or an external USB disk) to the Surface? Or does it need a 'gender changer' or does both not work?

Yes. It is actually a coupling; USB A (female) on both sides.
