Old reddit works for me better 😛
Hard to say.
When Lucifer was first introduced in the DCnU, he was wildly different(in both depiction and characterization) than the Lucifer Morningstar from Vertigo-proper. However, the DCnU was still brand new back then, and the DC execs were going out of their way to drive home the whole "Vertigo has merged with mainstream DC" concept. So at the time, I imagine that it was probably intended to be *the* Lucifer.
Fast-forward to now, however, and the Vertigo-verse is back to being its own thing again. So these days, I do not think the Lucifers are intended to be one in the same.
IOW, this Lucifer:

LT's dialogue was indicative of such, yeah:
Though it's worth mentioning that despite potentially wielding the power/authority of TOAA at the time, LT still wasn't sure if he had sufficient power to take the IG from Warlock by force:
...Which tells us that the IG and LT were roughly equal across the board. IF LT was superior, it certainly wasn't by much.
