The actual VGS, TH is one indication, but not more than a pre-selection parameter.
A more important indication of whether a MOSFET will work is whether the required gate levels are actually mentioned in the data sheet - it'ss usually at the top. So if you want to switch using 5V signals, make sure the datasheet explicitly lists key data at 4.5V. For switching with 3.3V levels, look for 2.8-3V voltages.
In many MOSFET data sheets you will only see 10V gate voltage listed, that are not logic level MOSFETs even if VGS, TH is below 2.8V.
