Yes, both methods are almost identical.
You can see that by looking at the source code of createWindow.
Just type 'edit createWindow':

function f = createWindow()
     f = figure( ...
     "dockable", "off", ...
     "infobar_visible", "off", ...
     "toolbar_visible", "off", ...
     "menubar_visible", "off", ...
     "default_axes", "off");
endfunction

So createWindow is just a wrapper around figure, with different default 
values.

Have a look at the Demos->Gui->Uicontrols1 or Uicontrols2 : there are 
text input uicontrols.
Click on the  'view code' menu to see what's under the hood.

Hope it helps,
