SequenceFile isn't quite one format -- it's a container format for key-value pairs, where keys and values can be of any type. Yes it's the same SequenceFile in Hadoop and Mahout, though one file written using SequenceFile may hold completely different data types.
I suppose it's like saying that both XHTML and ebXML are both XML documents, but, they are not all the same format. You can deal with both as XML files; you can't render ebXML as a web page though.
