I have confusion regarding that coregraphics layers are same as core animation layers?

No. Not even close. CoreGraphics has transparency layers, which are basically just a way for you to make a series of drawing calls, and put a shadow under all of them as if they were one drawing call (it's possible it does things other than shadows too, but that's all I've used them for). CoreAnimation layers are completely different, they are the basic building block for rendering things to the screen. They're what UIView's are built on top of.
