The biggest thing about actual difficult terrain (IIRC) is that it prevents you from taking 5 foot steps, which nothing else does (that doesn't just straight up prevent you from moving).
Darkness, natural or magic, get the same result:

You can only take a 5-foot-step if your movement isn't hampered by difficult terrain or darkness. Any creature with a speed of 5 feet or less can't take a 5-foot step, since moving even 5 feet requires a move action for such a slow creature.
