That's one reason, but another reason would be that at least in Netflow (but sFlow may be similar depending on how you use it), the reported byte counts only include the sizes of the "L3" packets, i.e. starting at the IP header, while the SNMP interface counters (ifInOctets etc.) include L2 overhead such as Ethernet frame headers and such.
sflow includes both figures. Nick
