Yes, the Buber Tanchuma is a different sefer from the standard Tanchuma. 
  Citations to "Tanchuma" stam refer to the old edition, while ones to 
this edition are given as "Tanchuma (Buber)".

Buber claimed that he had found the original version, and that the one 
published in the 16th century is a much later one.  Not everyone was 
convinced.

There was also something the rishonim called "Medrash Yelamdeinu", which 
   may have been a third version which is now lost, or may simply have 
been the name by which they referred to one or the other of these two 
versions.
