No, we're doing exactly the same calculation, using a different route. If you reread the strategy article here on FTR, you can see that there they also add what you have to call for to the pot, and then use this amount again as a fraction.

So basically,
me: $200 into what will be a $500 pot, 2/5=40%
you: $200 into a $300 pot, 2:3=40%

See? Same thing.
