Do they mean exactly the same thing? If yes, which one would you prefer? Thank you.

They mean almost the same thing, except that "having been" means definitely that you were instructed in the past. I can't say which I'd prefer-- "after being instructed to" is probably a little better, because in English we try to minimize the number of words we use when we write (and this is an entirely different argument-- you can watch native English speakers bite each other to death over "having been" vs. "being" and the passive voice and so on). But really either one is totally correct.
