Nope, they are different images.
banner.jpg is a banner and poster.jpg is a poster.
Aeon MQ 2 (and I imagine most XBMC skins) can use thumbnails other than poster.jpg.
So let's say I have a poster view I like, and a banner view I like, and I switch between the two regularly. Currently, each time I would want to switch view types, I would have to overwrite the poster.jpg files with either a banner or a poster, depending on the view type within the skin I wanted, which can get annoying, should I say want to switch views regularly.
Now with most skins, it can look for banner files in ..\TV Show\banner.jpg (instead of poster.jpg). So if you're watching a skin through a poster view, you can see posters (and more importantly, poster.jpg), and if you switch to a banner view, you will see banners without having to rename/overwrite files, since the banner view will look for banner files as banner.jpg.
I know this is confusing, if it still doesn't make sense, I can take a video using fraps illustrating what I'm talking about.
