Is all magma equal

No.

"Acid", high-silica magma formed from subducted ocean-crust partially melting and reacting with the continental crust through which it is rising. The granite end of the igneous-rock spectrum. Creates very violent eruptions of highly-viscous lava rich in steam and gas from wet sediments dragged down with the subducting plate. (Mount St. Helens, Krakatoa etc.)

"Basic" - lower-silica mantle-derived rock extruded from constructive plate margins and above intra-plate mantle convection columns. The Basalt family. Low viscosity, relatively gentle eruptions. (Hawaii, Iceland, etc.)

There are large differences in chemical and physical composition, grading from one to another through a bewildering range of igneous rock types.
