It's not the same, it does not include the subtree. Take for example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Top 1
  Some text in the Top 1 node
** Bottom 1
   Some more text.
** Bottom 2
   No text at all
* Top 2
  Another toplevel entry.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you place point on the second line of the above example,
(stl/)?outline-mark function will mark: Top 1, Bottom 1 and Bottom 2,
nodes with their content. While the org-entry-(beginning|end)-position
will provide you only with Top 1 heading and a text before Bottom 1.
