No they are not the same, they are different species. Some shops label honeys as honey dwarfs (or dwarf honeys) but that's just the name that shop chooses.
Honey gouramis are Trichogaster chuna

Honey gouramis can be kept as a pair. Unlike some other gourami species, male honeys are not very aggressive towards females if they want to spawn.
There are three commonly available colour variants of honeys.
Natural coloured ones are the easiest to sex - males are tan coloured while females are silvery beige.
Yellow coloured ones are not quite as easy. The ones with a fair amount of orange towards the tail are more likely to be males while any with a stripe - even the hint of a stripe - from nose to tail are more likely to be female.
Red ones are the most difficult. You have to go by fine shape and keep your fingers crossed. Males tend to have longer, pointier fins than females, particularly the dorsal fin (the one on the fish's the back)
