In C the word storage is usually used in the context of storage class of a variable: auto, static, extern, register, which specifies the way memory will be allocated the variable. Memory allocation can be static, automatic, and dynamic.

In general sense 'storage' means just memory. So in your context I think they are synonyms but its better to use 'memory allocation' in order not to confuse with storage class.
