In short, yes. However when running on a treadmill it drags your legs which in fact makes it easier then running outside. But from a purely fitness perspective they are just as good.

Is using treadmills better the running or jogging outside?
If you were to work equally hard for equally long, you would burn the same amount outside as on a treadmill. Running outside have two advantages: -it's less boring - it usually offers more natural variation which tend to make outside a better workout. OTOH outside can be too hot/cold/rainy/sunny/scarytraffic/dark etc etc, in which case a treadmill workout is better than no workout.

Is running in place as good as actual running?
No. You don't have to exert as much force since you're really just moving your legs up and down and aren't propelling yourself forward. Try a treadmill at a slight incline for a better simulation. Actual running is a lot more fun and it gives more motivation. Also, it's easier to keep running. If you're just running in your room you will get bored easily and want to stop. I suppose it also depends on how hard you are running.
