Carbonization used like this is the wrong term.
Not astoundingly dissimilar to enord's mothers (of no questionable doubt) 27 minute pregnancy.

The answer is yes there is a difference though your question borders on being nonsensical as Arthur pointed out you do not fully understand the terms. Furthermore, Oxidation does not necessitate the addition of oxygen but rather the loss of electrons.

If you are saying the carbon is being oxidized then the carbon is losing the electron(s). I don' understand your question for the second part.

also loss of hydride ion ( H- ) is another way of describing oxidation.
though this may be more confusing to the op's question
