No, that isn't a difference. If path is generic then footway is a subset of path.
It's this idea, that we need a vague generic basket for smaller highways that has created all this confusion. It amounts to saying: put in a vague tag and then add others to clarify. That isn't how people use tags in practice: all tags develop a semantic meaning, the only question is whether anybody understands what that meaning is!
