It can be interpreted as the posterior probability of a node belonging
to a particular group.

It's different, because the generative model is not the same. In an
overlapping SBM the nodes can belong to multiple groups at the same
time. In the non-overlapping version, this is not possible. The marginal
distribution just conveys the uncertainty of the inference, not joint
membership.
