Is there a difference between burning an iso to a disk and extracting it first then just copying?

Yes there is. The major advantage of an ISO is that burning it as an image preserves the bootloader, where extracting and burning the contents does not. The bootloader needs to go on a specific part of the CD/DVD/USB drive for it to be bootable. Just burning the contents does not do this.
ISO also makes a checksum of the entire ISO instead of each file it contains. That can be used to make sure that the download happened without error.
