I'm hearing different answers for this question - can anyone clarify?

Hi all,

I bought an Asrock AB-350M motherboard: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-AB350M-Socket-MicroATX-Motherboard/dp/B06WW9S5BY

I am in the process of buying a case. A lot of cases have x1 3.0 and x1 2.0 ports. My moterboard has USB 3.1 ports.

I've read up opposite answers to this question online, could anyone clarify for me: if I have a case which has a 2.0 port, will I be able to use that port with my motherboard (which is 3.1)?

Yes, you'll be fine, the AB350M has both USB 2.0 and 3.1 connections on it.
