Yes and No.

Fundamentally Earth's tectonic processes have made two forms of Crust. New(ish) Oceanic crust (which underlies the Oceans) and Old Continental Crust (which forms the Land/Continents). Thus the Oceans and the Contents are different.

However while the basic shape of the Oceanic crust is similar in all oceans (mid oceanic ridges, abyssal planes, continental slopes and deep see trenches), The Continental crust is much more varied and in basins shaped land forms in this crust water accumulates. In this instance these water bodies are therefore just another land form feature, a result of underlying topography.
