Not quite.

Pernicious anemia is caused by Vit. The vitamin B12 deficiency, but not all, vitamin B12 deficiency is pernicious anemia. Strictly speaking, pernicious anemia refers to a vitamin B12 deficiency due to atrophic gastritis and parietal cell loss causes the first place. In pernicious anemia does not alter the absorption of vitamin B12 in the absence of intrinsic factor, which is secreted by gastric parietal cells.

However, some people tend to take as interchangeable because it is the most common cause of B12 deficiency.
