It is, and it isn't.
Supposidly, the aspect of the frame that includes the engine and suspension pick-up points are the same. The difference between the fiberglass and aluminum car frames is where the body attaches to the frame. The alumijnum cars have a greater "bird-cage" body supporting frame than the fibergalss cars, where the fiberglass body doesn't need as extensive of a supporting structure.
You can convert a "fiberglass" frame to an alumimnum one by welding on the necessary body supporting subframe.
