Is accessing google.com (or any other server:80) through a dynamic SOCKS tunnel any different than accessing google.com through localhost: PORT forwarded to google.com:80?

Always worked under assumption that dynamic tunnels only encrypted packets from the SSH server until entering the internet. However a localhost port forward to google:80 obviously completely encrypts packets all the way to google:80 and all the way back to the SSH server...
