I will be travelling from HNL-LAX and have a connection time of 3:30h before catching a flight to YVR.

In a stopover, you leave LAX airport, spend time in the Los Angeles area (perhaps a few days), and return to board your flight to YVR. In that case, you will enter the U.S. like any other arriving passenger. You will have to collect your bags, clear customs, etc., etc. U.S. immigration doesn't care that you will fly to Canada a few days later.
In a connection, you go directly from one plane to the next. That's where the specific airlines matter, since you can make some connections at LAX without going landside but not others. I'll let people who are more familiar with LAX answer that question once you give us the necessary information.
You're right, I used the term incorrectly it is in fact a 3:30h connection.
