That's essentially the difference.  

In fact 'procedural' means according to an algorithmic definition in
contrast to a texture purely based on data like an image map. 

You can of course combine both techniques by adding warps to a image map
for example.
Also function pigments using the 'i_dat3d' library functions in megapov
could be interpreted as somewhere between.
