No, there is a difference between presets and filters. Very generally, a filter refers to a piece of software that allows you to change the look of an image by adjusting various effects and parameters. On the other hand, a preset is more like a series of defined settings for each of these parameters. A preset will, therefore, offer more control over editing and thus, a more consistent look to pictures, as opposed to a filter, for which every picture means starting off with vastly different degrees of exposure and quality.
