No way. It is absolutely different in practice because of Japanese counter words. A counter word is a counting prefix (different from the abstract number word) plus different suffixes for a variety of things. This object is long and thin, so it has one suffix. This object is a drop of liquid, so it has another suffix. This is a small animal, so it gets another suffix. The counting words for use with these suffixes are different from abstract numbers. Frankly, the system is bananas. Abstract numbers in Japanese are very simple and logical, but the overall counting system of e.g. English is objectively simpler, and I don't think you can disregard counting when examining the number system. In English, it would be equally correct to say "10 cows" or "a herd of cattle." Literally translating the first (without counting words) in Japanese would be incorrect.
