Yes. They are different, although sharing many of the same functions.

The overall function is to purify water.

A water filter typically is for getting rid of larger, insoluble objects. ie, grains of sand. As it is a 'filter', the water is passing through a physical medium and substances dissolved in the water will also pass through.

A water distiller would typically be used AFTER filtration. The distiller is to get the pure water. (as things dissolved in water like salt will get left behind) So, it removes all, or most of the dissolved substances in the water. It is the best form of purification. Simple evaporation can take place in evaporating dishes (takes forever) or this can be accelerated by warming or boiling the water and using distilling tubes :)

I hope this helps :)
