jojo,
they are "different' but very similar. There's alot of debate over Hoya names, and as they get more popular some vendors start attaching their own names to them. Best to always do your research before purchasing.
General rule, while most hoya's like to be grown a bit on the dry side, especially in winter, thin/small leaved ones will want more water than others. Also, while alot of Hoya's can take quite cool temps, some do not like at all.
I have H.bilobata and it is one I don't leave outside if the temps are going below 60º for any extended period of time. A few hours won't hurt but continuous would not be good for it. One thing no Hoya likes, is to be wet and cold. So always time your watering to make sure your plant will dry some before cooler temps set in.
There's tons of info on the web, just pick google "Hoya bilobata" and I'm sure you'll find the info you need.
Good luck with it and have fun, Hoya's are one of my favorites.

Hoya multiflora ( or javenica depending on who you ask LOL) Blooming now
