It's a different way of installing the same thing The second option further down is adding it to your repository so that it doesn't break apt.
Remember why I suggested this - You want to be able to maintain the ability to install system updates. If you install a third party deb package manually, you will probably end up losing the ability to install other packages and updates from the repos. Emphasis on probably, it depends on how far your distro has deviated from the version Oracle supports. Installing the repo makes apt aware of it, which means you will avoid lots of stupid errors when checking for updates.
