    It's not the same, for one using Dynamic Office 365 Groups requires Azure AD P1 licenses. Dynamic DGs are Exchange-only objects, thus you can only use Exchange-related objects and attributes when configuring membership. Dynamic O365 Groups are authored in Azure AD and can be used by any service that supports groups. They come with all the "standard" O365 group stuff - mailbox, ODFB site, etc. But are also limited in the types of recipient/rules you can create.

    Hi @Srbh_TheComputerGuy

    michev has given a clear description about the two types of dynamic groups.

    And you may refer to the below official document links to get more information:

    Manage dynamic distribution groups
    Create or update a dynamic group in Azure Active Directory
