silly doubts

[Hello world]

1) color maps and textures both are the same terms?

2) if we use textures in vops with the color map node do we need to unwrap the textures?(I have used uvtexture node before the material node)

The Texture VOP has extra parameters that the Color Map VOP doesn't have, like texture filtering for instance.

Yes you will need to unwrap the objects because those nodes rely on UV coordinates. Do note that anything can be used as a UV coordinate, such as world space position of a point, or a rest position. Typically you will want to use UVs though.
