I don't think it's exactly the same thing, please correct me if I am wrong.
The WPS PBC can be initiated by either the AP or the device. It does not need to be started on the AP side. If you cannot initiate the button press without first selecting a service to connect to, there is no way to start the WPS sequence from device side because you have already chosen which AP you want to connect to. You must be able to have the device advertising the WPS PBC before you select the AP to connect to. That way the AP can see the advertisements. wpa_supplicant / wpa_cli allow the button to be pressed before choosing the network to connect to. Thanks!
