According to wikipedia, they are the same thing: Instant rice, also known as converted rice, is rice that has been precooked and dehydrated so that it cooks more rapidly. Regular rice requires approximately 20 minutes to cook while instant rice needs anywhere between five and 10 minutes. Because it has already been cooked, all that is necessary to prepare instant rice is to simply re-hydrate it with hot water.

What is the difference between converted rice and other rice?
Converted rice (or parboiled rice) is a white rice prepared from brown rice that has been soaked, steamed under pressure to force water-soluble nutrients into the starchy endosperm, and then dried and milled. The process normally results in firm, easily separated grains when properly cooked. Reconstituted rice is rice that has already been cooked, the outer hull removed and then pushed through a press making rice looking pellets. It is dried and sold as instant rice. It has less taste and often less nutritional value than other rice dishes but can be more convenient.
