Nope, those are not the same QR codes. What you're thinking is a QR code with the credentials encodes in it that anyone can read and use. New versions of Android instead implement WiFi Easy Connect (technically called Device Provisioning Protocol) that makes one-time codes to create a secure P2P connection betweem two devices, then transmits the credentials securely. It's pretty much exactly what Apple's thing seems to be doing, only they're doing it over Bluetooth instead of ad-hoc WiFi.
