No, I don't feel it is even close to the same thing. A kick that is received in the end zone, is the guy that catches it's choice to run it our or to take the 25 instead. A ball fumbled into the end zone and recovered by the defense, can be returned out of the end zone if the guy that recovers it can manage it, if he gets downed, then the closest place to put it on the field of play is the 1.
