Yes, though HERA is mentioned briefly in that article (regarding the evacuation during Hurricane Harvey) and HI-SEAS is mentioned briefly in this one (as a similar program).
The main difference, from what I can tell, is that HI-SEAS simulates a Mars surface habitat (with a 20-minute one-way radio delay) while HERA simulates a crew inhabiting a spacecraft (with steadily increasing radio delays until the 'asteroid' 5 light-minutes away is reached, then decreasing as the 'spacecraft' heads home).
