It's not the same language, no. But it compiles to the same virtual machine: the Z-machine. Inform was written to be a nice free compiler for the z-machine. It's actually a very nice OO language (well, as far as writing games goes).
If you've listened to Mr Sugalski, you may have heard him talk about how he'd love to have Parrot be able to run z-code. Which would be fun.
