  No, they are not from the same plant. The plant that’s the topic of the story is a flowering herb. The plant you are asking about is called Syzygium samarangense and what you’re describing are the fruits of trees. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syzygium_samarangense https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syzygium_samarangense

  "Jambu Air" (in Bahasa Malayu) is a juicy, sweet/sour fruit from South-east Asia. The Brazilian "Jambu" that the article describes is not the same thing - it's an astringent herb from the Amazon.
