Yes, it is the same thing. Distilled white vinegar is the lowest grade of vinegars. It is made from the dregs of other vinegars. Distilled white vinegar is commmonly used in salad dressings and for pickling because it is clear and does not add any color to the recipe that you are making.
The commonest type of vinegar used for pickling is either distilled white or malt (brown). Use white vinegar if you don't want malt vinegar to darken the colour of the pickled items (hard-boiled eggs, whole or sliced onions, and other vegetables, etc). The vinegar used to pickle beetroot would not matter as the strong dark redness of the beetroot would override a malt vinegar.
