Yes there are totally different.
When you press F5 the browser refresh the page vs, when you press Enter on the url the browser get the page.
Meaning that with the F5 if the last action was a post, the browser re-post the data, when you press enter, everything that you have done, or enter to the page lost, any data enter, any post back with the enter are lost.
There is also the Shift + F5 that force the browser to reload/refress the page after clear the cache for this one. On google chrome, if you have open the tools, and you click more than 3 seconds on the f5 opens a menu with additional options.
