It utilizes the same pipe insofar as it uses the same cable HFC plant/infrastructure to deliver the signal to your home. On the wire however typically VoD services on set tops do not use the same DOCSIS channels as cable modems delivering IP video via Netflix, Hulu, etc. Cable VoD typically is just a block of regular video channels. Your set top requests a program and one of those video channels is allocated for this program. It's a bit old fashioned but it works. It is however possible to do this over DOCSIS which starts to blur the lines.
