The difference is that
apt install php-defaults
doesn’t work, because php-defaults is a source package, not a binary package.
A source package contains the source code and packaging descriptors used to build one or more binary packages. Source packages aren’t directly installable.

Yes, package php is PHP7.0, while php-defaults acts as a kind of meta-package for common php modules and php itself. Note that php is already included in php-defaults.
