Mostly it does work the same - clicking on the eye works the same, you can turn locking on or off by ctrl+click in the same way, and clicking on the selection indicator area works the same way.

The controls used for those things are identical...

The only thing that's different between them is that styles have a color swatch as well, is that what you're referring to?

Objects don't have a color swatch because objects do not have a color definition all by themselves, objects contain a style reference and it's the actual style that controls the color.

This allows styles to work like a list of materials, and when you export to a rendering format like OBJ or LWO that styles list actually becomes the list of render materials.
