Chicken fried steak is usually made with round steak. Before mechanical tenderizers it was pounded to death with either a meat mallet or the edge of a sturdy saucer, all the while pounding the seasoned flour into it. Many people today select their round steak and have the butcher run it through the tenderizer. Years ago many shops called it the "cubing machine", hence "cube steak". The so-called cube steak patties that are prepacked, IMHO, bear no resemblance to the real thing. It may be the cut of meat they use or the setting on the machine. I dunno.
Salisbury steak is, indeed, made with ground meat that has been seasoned and often estended with bread crumbs or whatever, then browned and cooked in gravy or sauce of some type.
Swiss steak is, again, a piece of round steak that has been pounded to death, usually with weasoned flour, browned, then cooked in sauce (often tomato based with vegetables).
