Is Update 3 of Visual Studio 2015 cumulative?
Question
Can I install Visual Studio Community Edition RTM and then Update 3? Or, do I need to Install Update 1 then 2 then 3?

Yes, it is cumulative. Moreover, each time a new update is released, Microsoft immediately makes sure there is no access to any previous updates. All links to previous updates get redirected to the latest update. (More precisely, all links simply lead to the online installer, which always downloads the latest update).
This is a major PITA, BTW, since there's no immediate solution to new code-breaking bugs that Microsoft often introduces into new updates. Update 3 is quite problematic in that regard.
For this reason, if you already have Visual Studio installed, it is highly recommended to make a snapshot of your system before installing any further VS updates. That way you will always be able to revert to the previous version in case the new update is broken.

The VS install I downloaded (latest one) includes SP3.
So it appears that the current download of VS includes the latest SP updates.
