As posed, the question makes no sense on several levels. Benzene is not saturated although it is far less reactive than would be expected for an unsaturated compound due to delocalisation of the electrons. I am unsure what you mean by asking if saturation and "unsaturation" are the same.

No, benzene does not show the typical reactions of unsaturated compounds because it is an Aromatic compound which is neither saturated nor unsaturated.

Benzene molecule has a pi electronic cloud so mostly undergoes the substitution reactions.

Benzene (cyclo-C6H6) acts like a saturated compound because it is almost as stable to catalysed addition of (and unwillingly to react with) water H2O, as it were already 'saturated' like cyclo-C6H12.

It acts like a unsaturated compound because it undergoes addition reaction with hydrogen

H2 to form the fully saturated cyclo-C6H12
