No, not exactly. When you use Certificate Server, you generate certificates
that are signed by the root certificate owned by Certificate Server. The
purpose of this is to allow you to distribute the root certificate to your
users; any certificates signed by that root certificate will then be trusted
by those users. A self-signed certificate has no trusted root certification
authority.

That said, for your purposes you get essentially the same result, because
your users will not have the root certificate necessary for trust.
