No, the power-off is different. It is the equivalent of doing a shutdown from computer OS. It writes everything out that it needs to, closes open files and displays an off banner. On power-on, it rereads the database and other files.
The pin-hole reset is the same as turning the computer off at the wall and then on again. Files are reopened like the power-on, but there is a risk that something might not have been saved.
