No, in the alps its not the same. In the alps tourism=wilderness_hut is used for remote buildings operated by an alpine club, but (in contrast to alpine_hut) without staff. These buildings are strongly built and well equiped (kitchen and beds) houses, called "self catering huts" in German (Selbstversorgerhütten). They are locked and you need a key from the alpine club. These huts are for members of the alpine club only. In contrast to this, shelter_type=basic_hut is a lightly built small shelter with four walls and no equipment. Mostly they are situated on high mountain levels, free accessable, sometimes with some kind of bed but often without; you always can sleep in a sleeping bag there. In German they are called "Biwakschachtel" (bivouac box).
