Yes, totally different.

Home Assistant Agents imports HA device entities into Indigo as standard Indigo devices. So you can use (and control) those devices like any other Indigo device.

Hass Bridge exports certain Indigo devices to Home Assistant. I'm not sure why people do this, but that's what it does. And it's quite complicated to set up, as it uses MQTT to send the device data to Home Assistant.

Ok then I got it correctly.
I installed home assistant on a synology NAS and added a Nuki lock via MQTT. With this plugin I can control it with Indigo

What do you mean via MQTT? If that's how HA is communicating with the lock, why do you need HA at all? You can do MQTT from Indigo.

Yes, HA communicates with the lock via MQTT but HA has a “plugin” for it, Indigo does not have it
