Yes.
Assuming that "piossion" refers to Poisson, they are simply different probability distributions that are applicable in different situations.
There are several types of distributions in statistics, including normal, binomial, Poisson, uniform, and exponential distributions. The normal distribution is bell-shaped and commonly used due to the Central Limit Theorem. Binomial distributions deal with binary outcomes, while Poisson distributions model the number of events in a fixed interval. Uniform distributions have constant probability across a range, and exponential distributions often describe time until an event occurs.
Poisson distribution shows the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time. Example; if average of 5 cars are passing through in 1 minute. probability of 4 cars passing can be calculated by using Poisson distribution. Exponential distribution shows the probability of waiting times between occurrences of events. If we use the same example; probability of a car coming in next 40 seconds can be calculated by using exponential distribution. -Poisson : probability of x times occurrence -Exponential : probability of waiting times between events.
The key difference between the Poisson and Binomial distributions lies in their underlying assumptions and applications. The Binomial distribution models the number of successes in a fixed number of independent trials, each with the same probability of success, while the Poisson distribution models the number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space when these events happen independently and at a constant average rate. Additionally, the Binomial distribution is characterized by two parameters (number of trials and probability of success), whereas the Poisson distribution is defined by a single parameter (the average rate of occurrence).

If you're studying a subject involving or related to statistics and probability, then it will. If you're not, then it won't.

The binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution. The number of possible outcomes depends on the number of possible successes in a given trial. For the Poisson distribution there are Infinitely many.

Discrete
In parametric statistical analysis we always have some probability distributions such as Normal, Binomial, Poisson uniform etc.In statistics we always work with data. So Probability distribution means "from which distribution the data are?
The Poisson distribution is discrete.
It can be.
A poisson process is a non-deterministic process where events occur continuously and independently of each other. An example of a poisson process is the radioactive decay of radionuclides. A poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that represents the probability of events (having a poisson process) occurring in a certain period of time.
