Is there any difference between commands iisreset and iisreset /stop followed by iisreset /start ?

What does IISRESET do? IISRESET restarts all IIS services, shutting down any active IIS worker processes in the process and killing them if they do not stop in time. During the restart, the web server stops listening for incoming requests and causes downtime for all websites on the server.
Using a command line If you want to stop IIS first, and then start it again, type iisreset /restart and press ENTER.
The Stop-IISSite cmdlet stops an existing site on the Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
Take IISReset as a suite of commands that helps you manage IIS start / stop etc.
Which means you need to specify option (/switch) what you want to do to carry any operation.
Default behavior OR default switch is /restart with iisreset so you do not need to run command twice with /start and /stop.
Hope this clarifies your question. For reference the output of iisreset /? is:
IISRESET.EXE (c) Microsoft Corp. 1998-2005 Usage: iisreset [computername] /RESTART Stop and then restart all Internet services. /START Start all Internet services. /STOP Stop all Internet services. /REBOOT Reboot the computer. /REBOOTONERROR Reboot the computer if an error occurs when starting, stopping, or restarting Internet services. /NOFORCE Do not forcefully terminate Internet services if attempting to stop them gracefully fails. /TIMEOUT:val Specify the timeout value ( in seconds ) to wait for a successful stop of Internet services. On expiration of this timeout the computer can be rebooted if the /REBOOTONERROR parameter is specified. The default value is 20s for restart, 60s for stop, and 0s for reboot. /STATUS Display the status of all Internet services. /ENABLE Enable restarting of Internet Services on the local system. /DISABLE Disable restarting of Internet Services on the local system.

The following was tested for IIS 8.5 and Windows 8.1.
As of IIS 7, Windows recommends restarting IIS via net stop/start. Via the command prompt (as Administrator):
> net stop WAS > net start W3SVC net stop WAS will stop W3SVC as well. Then when starting, net start W3SVC will start WAS as a dependency.
