Yes they are.  The truth table (or approximation thereof) also shows

"screen" when in a Screen session, "vt102" when not.  I've also tried
"vt100" and even "cygwin" (with Cygwin being the point of origin of
course).

Apart from different alias definitions, different prompts, and a
couple of other unrelated things (like shell variables set to point to
drives, for example), no.
