Well in some legal sense maybe they are the same, the Govt was having trouble determining exactly how to classify the stimulus checks. But yes they are different. A refund would refer to the return of over paid estimated (or withholding) payments, relevant to your tax return filing. The stimulus was a fixed amount (different based on certain circumstances), and not really relevant to your prepayments or actual tax due. They are sent in different checks at different times.
