Yes, the question sets used for both exams are identical and the Sierra/Bates book is good preparation material. In order to prepare even better, I would advise to take some mock tests first. There is a large number of free ones on the net.

EDIT: as to the naming ambiguities - the certificate was issued by Sun Microsystems and called SCJP - Sun Certified Java Programmer. After Oracle acquired Sun in early 2010 (the agreement has been signed in 2009), the certificate has been officially renamed to Oracle Certified Professional Java SE Programmer or OCPJP. Many people continue to call it SCJP though.
