A very important distinction indeed. Wordpress.COM is not the same as the self-hosted version at WordPress.ORG
While they've made recent changes to .COM to bring it closer to .ORG mostly as a knee-jerk response to the Matt v WPE scrap, they are still very different experiences.
I rarely advise clients looking to DIY solution to go to WordPress.com
