Not necessarily. The LastChange value will be the value of sysUpTime when X changed. The sysUpTime value is the value of sysUpTime when the trap is sent. If the trap is sent immediately after X changes (probably as a result of this change), then the two values will be basically the same - yes. But if the trap is sent some time later (as a result of some other event), then the two values may well be different.
