Yes, they can mean the same thing when people are speaking casually.
No! Venom is the general term referring to any variety of toxins used by certain types of animals that inject it into their victims by the means of a bite or a sting. Unlike poison, which is ingested or inhaled into the victim's tract, administration of venom is usually directed into the lymphatic system itself.
Those who are more careful with their terminology generally use "venomous" to mean something that injects a venom with its bite or sting, and "poisonous" to refer to things that are poisonous when ingested.
