Yes, quite different.
NSR directives are read and interpreted by the networker client.
There's no networker client on an NDMP backup, so they can't be used.
Each NDMP server may have its own syntax that it supports to modify
operations, and you can signal that with variables in the application
information attribute of the client.
Netapp supports a very limited exclusion, but it appears to be
name-based only, not location based.
In other words, you can exclude "dir" at all levels, but you cannot
exclude /vol/vol0/one/dir while allowing /vol/vol0/two/dir (assuming you
have /vol/vol0 as your save set).
