yes, arm64 and aarch64 are different names for the same architecture. 

Linux (kernel) and debian/ubuntu (and Apple in IOS/LLVM) called it
arm64. ARM corp called it aarch64. The glibc ABI triplet is
aarch64-linux-gnu.  These are all the same ABI/architecture.

Apologies for the confusion. I was rather hoping more projects would
use the obvious (and IMHO more user-friendly) arm64 name, rather than
following the corporate steer, and in the early days it was hard
to tell how this would go. But most have plumped for aarch64, so users
are exposed to both names.
