Does stream and video with "recording" status point to the same livestream?

I’m trying to track the number of views of a live stream even after it’s converted into a video. I’m doing this by using https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/#{channel_id}/videos?client_id=#{client_id}&broadcast_type=archive and get the json entry of the video with recording status. However, I’m a bit hesitant if this is an accurate approach after I learned about vodcasting which from what I understand is uploading a pre-recorded video and watching it with the other viewers. My question now is, is the video with recording status point to the same livestream as the one returned by the get live streams by channel?

Thanks in advance.
