I just wanted to confirm whether there is a substantial difference between the following two scenarios:
It would be a great help if you could throw some light on it, I've been stuck on this for a while. Thanks

I would say that "link it to Eclipse" is the same as "Create->New Server". Here's how to do that even though you didn't ask for explicit steps. (This question leads me to think there is a fundamental misunderstanding so I'm spelling it out.)
"Creating a server" in eclipse is creating a graphical interface to the actual server you installed. It's great because you an manage many aspects of the server (NOT configuring standalone.xml) from within eclipse. You can start and stop it and deploy to it.

Assuming that you have JBoss Tools installed according to Matrix of supported platforms, runtimes and technologies in JBossTools & JBDS you will always need to set up a standalone instance.
I don't have Juno lying around anymore, but I think that if you follow through with "Create->New Server" the wizard is going to ask you to browse to the directory of an existing JBoss installation.
