Yeah, the base repositories are the same (along with Debian). In addition, Ubuntu gives access to the snap store, while Mint uses a flatpak repo. It won't mean a lot to everyone--the main distinction between the distros is the default DE.
Debian uses separate repos, which are incompatible to Ubuntu.
Snap and Flatpak are both available as packages. I don't know about the availability of snap or Flatpak packages in the graphical 'appstores' in Ubuntu or Mint, but in Plasma Discover both are available by plugins.
