No, i would say that they are different. Usually, upright would be used to set things upright. Straight up is usually used to say things like," Look straight up at the dot on the ceiling." Upright would be used in a sentence like, "Set the milk in an upright position." Some people may say that they are the same but i guess it depends on who you are.
hope it helps :)
