No, they are not the same although many badly-informed people today pretend that they are.

A tipi is always a large, conical tent originally covered with a semicircular cover made from buffalo hides sewn together. These were used on the Great Plains and the areas bordering the Plains.

A wigwam is a smaller domed or conical structure covered with sheets of tree bark or mats woven from plant fibres. These were used in the northern and eastern woodlands areas and around the Great Lakes.
