When running async code in a non-concurrency context, are these the same things?
Task { ... }
and
Task.init{ ... }

Yes. The .init is redundant, however. This is the common syntax for all initializers. Array(...) is the same as Array.init(...).
Task.init takes a closure, and when there's a single closure parameter, you can drop the parentheses. (This is a form of "trailing closure syntax.") This isn't special for Task.
The full initializer is:
@discardableResult init(priority: TaskPriority? = nil, operation: @escaping @Sendable () async throws -> Success)
priority is optional, so you can drop it. And operation is a closure.
