No, the difference manifests when a shooter releases his shot and then crashes into a defender. NFHS waves off the shot due to the player control foul. NCAA would count the basket as the Airborne shooter rule doesn't apply there. Since the foul is considered a common foul, free throws would be shot if the defender's team is in the bonus.
