Yep, the leather is the same for both bags in the picture

- glazed,
shiny calfskin (which means 'vitello lux' in Italian). I guess this type of leather has some quality issues, yes.
But
Matelasse is the name of the certain style, not leather - it means that the leather is not straight, but pleated / braided, like all the Coffers, wallets, clutches etc. in this style

So Matelasse doesn't have anything to do with the leather or quality issues, it's just the name of the style - it can be made from shiny calf or soft lambskin like yours

. Or even denim like this one:
