Exteriors typically call for flat or satin and semi-gloss on trim.
Is matte the same as flat?
It depends on the paint and the manufacturer. Some flats have a slight matte-like sheen, however, in a paint line the matte sheen should have a higher sheen than the flat version, but a lower sheen than the eggshell version.

As long as they are the same base you can do that.
