Yes there is a difference.
Added:
An arrest is merely an accusation, and not even a formal accusation at that. The indictment or information (or whatever the charging instrument is, which varies by jurisdiction) is the formal accusation, and only after the formal accusation is made can a conviction be obtained. A person cannot be convicted unless it is found that they are guilty of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. An arrest can be made just on probable cause, which is a far lesser standard than beyond a reasonable doubt.

How do you get a public intoxacation and resisting arrest charge off of your record?
Criminal arrests and convictions are a permanent part of your criminal record. An arrest or conviction can be expunged or sealed under certain exceptional conditions. It is not often done. The process varies from one state to another, and involves making a petition to the court that presided over the original arrest and/or conviction. The court will usually consider the circumstances of the original arrest, and the conduct of the person arrested since then. Generally, a substantial amount of time has to have passed since the original arrest, and the arrestee must have been a model citizen since. Sealing or expungement of a conviction does not allow you to omit this information from many background investigation processes. A pardon of a previous conviction eliminates the consequences of the conviction, such as restoration of civil rights, but does not remove the conviction from your record.
What happens if you don't follow court orders for a misdemeanor conviction?
