Yes, they are the same at present, have been the same since the day that
etch became stable, and will remain the same until the day that lenny
takes over the role of stable.
But you can expect a lot of updates on that day if you're tracking stable.
To answer the question in your topic title: stable is always stable. Etch
isn't always stable. It's been testing, now it's stable, one day etch
will be old-stable, and sometime after that it'll be obsolete. (But don't
try to put "obsolete" in sources.list :-)
