Maybe similar, but not the same.
Isolation can produce the results you're describing. That is, if it were truly just a containment function, and I'm not so sure that's always the case.
Damping is actually the dissipation function, so the vibes do go somewhere and get converted to another form of energy, usually heat, or into another part of the sonic spectrum that is less annoying to you. At least that's been my understanding.
For boxed components I use damping and coupling, rather than isolation. Then I use isolation/damping for the platforms they sit on. Pretty much the same for speakers I use.
You are absolutely correct that music (and the universe for that matter) is all about vibration, so any notion of totally eliminating vibration is not only infeasible but also antithetical to sound.
