Actually the main site (that up2date and yum are configured for by
default) doesn't have the apt metadata, so no they don't use the same
Repos.  In essence using apt is the long way around to using a mirror
site.  Most (notice I didn't say all) problems with up2date/yum that are
solved by using apt could just as easily be solved by using configuring a
mirror for up2date/yum.
