No it wouldn’t be the same. If an officer stopped at a neighbors house he would have no idea who the neighbor might have invited in, what guests or relatives might be there, or even a repairman. Officer Amber knew damn well that there should be no one in her apartment because it was hers.
But it wasn't her apartment. It was the "intruder's" apartment. I know its silly to try to apply logic to these things. I lived in Texas for several years and there's a reason I don't live there anymore. It's just a different culture.
