There are mixed interpretations about it, the old school told us to do the wipe cache and then the full reset, I still do that, but yes, doing the full reset will clear cache also, I just keep doing it that way because it takes just a second and you know what they say about old habits.
Anyway, the Clear Cache on Recovery is not the same as clearing cache from apps on the Storage menu, I'll tell you that on my daughters' Moto G 2014, resetting the App cache just do that and it takes seconds, but the phone keeps lagging and doing all kind of weird stuff, then you need to go to recovery menu and do the Wipe Cache partition it takes long minutes to finish and then everything go back to normal.
It may be similar but the example I gave you above show you that is not the same.
