Yes they have the same meaning. When โดน and ถูก are added in front of a verb, it becomes "passive voice". โดน means 'touch' but I can't think of any time that we use that word by itself. It always comes with the action verb. These two words are just used in different occasions. Example: โดนตี/ถูกตี - got hit/spanked ถูกสอน - was taught
