Yep, Neufchatel cheese is low fat cream cheese (in the USA, you'll sometimes see both names on the package, or one or the other).
If you can't find fat free or low fat cream cheese, you could use regular cream cheese, but would have to recalculate the fat and calories in the recipe. Mascarpone works in most recipes calling for cream cheese.
