As discussed restore vm api is for resetting the vm with a new volume in case its existing volume gets corrupted whereas recover vm is used to recover the vm when its in the destroyed state before it gets expunged. That said currently only recover vm option is available through the UI and the action name on the UI is 'restore vm' so please don't get misled.
I think the documentation needs to be enhanced on these apis. I will file bug for the same along with the action of restore vm to be presented as well.
