Each encoding type is of course the same independent of if it is
tightvnc or realvnc, however tightvnc and realvnc do not support
the same encodings.
I do not have that book so I do not know what it describes.

According to the book, the encodings supported by TightVNC are
CopyRect
CoRRE
Hextile
Raw
RRE
Tight
Zlib
RealVNC supports only 3 (as explained in the man page)
Hextile
Raw
ZRLE
So they both have two encodings in common.
I do not know if I can copy paste the explanations given for each
encoding as it might violate some copyright laws. But the information
is there if needed.
thanks
