Slightly different. The same would be if the person were cursed into being a bear. Most "300 year old vampires" are of the mythos "a person keeps the form they were when they turned, and only virgins can turn into vampires, so most vampires were turned very young and will never age" angle.
But in this case, the person is choosing to transform. I'd argue that's an important difference. In-universe (ignoring the meta-authorial-level), the vamp-loli can't change her form (and the ones that can, such as Evangeline A. K. MacDowell, usually do age themselves up when initiating any overtures), so if she were to have any romantic interests, she would have to have them in that form, but this situation is more voluntary, the druid could have been some dude having some gay sex, but he heard about bears and otters in gay couples and misread some lines.
It's a minor difference, but I think it's an important one narratively. If The Beast could shift back and forth to Prince Charming, but just liked railing Belle as the Beast, that'd be weird, but it's less weird if he's stuck in that form.
Wasn't there a movie that unironically had a 'kid vampire' who kept creeping on little girls and wanted to turn them because he'd been a vampire for like 150 years? I'm trying to remember it, all the other vampires were like, scummy losers living in a van.

I love how 80s trailers just had gratuitous violence in them. Also i miss that smokey voiced narrator.
