No, they are not the same thing. What I have just commited cleans a bit
the bibtex code in the 1.0 way (using inset codes instead of browsing the
generated latex code) and moved it to Buffer, since the bibkeys are buffer
properties. This allowed me to use the same old trick to give multipart
document support for bibkeys.
How it works:
1. Be sure to have all the children their parent updated, poping up
the cross reference list in the master doc. (can work also inserting
a bibref in the parent).
2. Insert a citation anywhere in your document, it doesn't matter if
the bibliography (or bibtex inset) is in the parent document or
in any of the children.

Because when you want to insert a citation, the inset is inserted first.
The popup depends on the existence of a citation inset. OTOH when
inserting a reference, the popup appears first to let you choose from the
list.

well, this misfeature was used as a workaround before the sharing
reference stuff, so I see no reason to not make it automatic.
