No, bookmarks (outlines) and hyperlinks (link annotations) are not equivalent -- but internally they can share some common elements. For example, a bookmark can be used to link to a specific page in a document and so can a hyperlink via Go-To Actions.

A bookmark references a specific page/paragraph/sentence/whatever within the PDF itself.

A hyperlink in a PDF can reference a bookmark (similar to #anchors in HTML) but can also point to external resources.
