The question should be what is the difference between a winch and a hoist. In this case they are both powered by compressed air. Both winches and hoists are available which can be powered by air, electricity, hydraulics, or manual power (other means of powering this equipment is also available).
A hoist is made for lifting. A winch is made for dragging/pulling.
A hoist is designed with a special safety factor, limit switches and redundant braking for overhead lifting. Winches are designed to a completely different criteria. Keep in mind that several companies have manufactured "hybrid" winches which are made to lift. They are basically dual purpose pieces of equipment (hoist/winch).

If oil is replaced by air in a hydraulic system would the hoist still operate?
Practically it won't, be the air will get compressed, and then the hoist will not work. Read Pascal's principle to check if my answer if correct.
