Are the terrestrial planets and the gas giant planets formed from the same material?
Yes and no.
It was the same material initially when the solar nebula first condensed, however then the sun ignited and cooked the volatiles (e.g. gases, water) out of the material nearby and the solar wind carried those volatiles outward. The material further out retained the original volatiles.
The volatile depleted material then formed the four terrestrial planets and the undepleted material then formed the four gas giant planets.
