Is that a transaction id?

No, it's the user's pubkey in hex format

Is there a difference between a btc txid and pubkey in hex format?

A bitcoin txid is the hash of the transaction data. A nostr pubkey is the public part of a cryptographic keypair which represents your identity on nostr. Two entirely different things really.

But visually they look the same

No they're not...and not just visually...from bitcoin txid you can create an npub to nsec...hmm.
