Wrong, protection is EXACTLY the same for both kicks. One does not become a kicker in either case till that very moment his/her foot contacts the ball. You can knock the sh*t out of the punter as long as their foot has not contacted the ball, but you better make sure that it is obvious because I am sure the official will err on the side of protecting the kicker.
