That's incorrect. In DES, the only difference between the encryption
and decryption is the order in which the round keys are used. That's
pretty much the definition of a Fiestel Network.
In AES, in contrast, the differences between encryption and decryption
are a bit more pronounced. Take a look at fips-197.pdf#page=25 and
fips-197.pdf#page=19. The only function shared by both is
AddRoundKey. SubBytes and InvSubBytes differ in that they use
different S-Boxes, InvShiftRows and ShiftRows shift the rows in
opposite directions, and MixColumns and InvMixColumns with a different
fixed polynomial.
