Yes it is.
They are two different things.
No they're not.
I can (and have) deleted my bus objects and routed signals from a channel Out to an Aux Object, using a bus.
OK Fine. If you say that works I believe you but that it still works does not prove your point. Logic very likely has a default routing in place weather the bus objects have been created in the environment or not - the same way that logic will output audio even if you have not created audio output objects. As soon as you need to change something in one of these places you'll need to create the objects to get access to it.
What if that bus was sending to an output which for the sake of this example you didn't want? You would not know and even if you could hear that it was doing that and you wanted to stop it you would then have to create the bus object, assign it and then open it up to stop it from happening. This would be the case when setting up for a simple post fader effect send.
Aux objects do have a lot in common with busses and even additional functionality, but the bus is still required as a bridge to auxes from inputs, tracks and instruments - weather you have the bus objects created or not - and at some point you will need to change something on the bus. Is it really so important to your workflow to want to kill off the humble little bus object? The bus objects speak highly of you (wink wink).
Anyway, if it works for your preferred approach to think of all this the way you do then good luck.
Kind regards
