No; the Special Theory of Relativity shows that measurements of space and time can vary, depending on the observer (if two observers move at different velocities). The General Theory of Relativity introduces additional differences that may depend on the observer.

Is there a difference between empty space and an absolute vacuum ie Does an absolute vacuum posses a Higg's field?

THEORETICALLY: An absolute vacuum has no mass contained. In empty space there is no mass, so an absolute vacuum is empty space and empty space is an absolute vacuum. There is no difference. Although, there may be energy passing through the empty space or vacuum in the form of electromagnetic waves, or gravitational or magnetic fields.
