Yes, origami paper is different than regular paper in some ways. Origami paper is usually thinner than regular paper, which makes it easier to fold. Origami paper is also usually square in shape, which is convenient for most origami models. Origami paper also comes in a variety of colors, patterns, sizes, and textures, which can make your origami more attractive and diverse. However, you can also use regular paper for origami if you cut it into squares and if it is not too thick or stiff.
