nope - tiz semantics, but he has the wurds arse about face - using my example, would you agree that "buses are vehicles" and "vehicles are buses" is the same? Of course not. Rust is Oxidisation, so is Aluminium Oxide, and Zinc Oxide, but Oxide (of Aluminium or Zinc) is blatantly not Rust, as rust is a generic term for FE03 (Fe+O2+H2O).
And actually, i think you'll find Fe(OH)2 ⇌ FeO + H2O or Fe(OH)3 ⇌ FeO(OH) + H2O aka 2 FeO(OH) ⇌ Fe2O3 + H2O
No such thing as FE!
