precalculus is quite a bit different than trig. usually they are integrated and when most ppl think of the subject matter in precalc, they think of traditionally trigonometric topics, as that is the largest application in early levels of calculus.

but other precalculus topics that are not trigonometric include definitions of a function, continuity, basic integration and differentiation, limits, probability and statistics, conics, rules of triangles, matrices, etc.

so no, they are not the exact same or interchangeable, but are often taught and taken in course simultaneously.
