That reads like the same thing to me. A variation is a variation.
I am trying to find it on the AKC site. I read it there also.
There are only 9 breeds with accepted varieties. The ones which denote color as a variety the coloring is also acceptable within the breed standard.
American Kennel Club - Facts and Stats
Just so there isn't any confusion...there has been discussion where AKC has considered adding another variety of the present groups....herding, working, toy, etc.
