Is the Switch CLI in Packet Tracer the same as "Console"?

I set the password for a console connection via a pc to switch connection by using the following commands...

> enable

# conf t

# line con 0

# password password123

# login

And when I then click on the switch and use the CLI, it requires a password. Is that because the switch CLI in packet tracer is supposed to be the same as when you connect via the console port?
