Isn't this the same as compiling with CC="gcc -flto -fuse-linker-plugin.."?

Nope, two completely different animals. gold is a new linker that was
introduced to binutils in 2008.
LTO (Link-time Optimization) was a feature that was introduced to GCC fairly
recently...
Thanks for the clarification and links to further reading.
Can you use ld-gold and lto together?
Yes. And sorry, I meant to find this link include it in my previous
email as well. https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/LinkTimeOptimization.
