A significant difference is completely offline operation. With a
centralised tool, by definition you can't commit if you're not on the
network. With a distributed tool, committing changes is decoupled from
sharing them.
As you surmise, you can agree to use a central repository with a
distributed tool, but it's a matter of preference and convention, not
something forced upon you by the tool designers.
