There is no practical difference between these two situations.

Ex-parte proceeding means proceedings in the absence of a party. It may from the initial state or after any subsequent proceeding. There is no material difference.

In first case you can file petition for setting aside exparte decree on ground of non-service of summon whereas in 2nd case you have such ground.

Dear Querist,
Legally speaking there should be no ex parte in the first place - for if the service is not effected - then how can you proceed against the person ?

be passed against defendant.

The court can never proceed to pass any exparte decree unless it satisfies it self by its own order that defendant is served with summons,may be by substituted service by publication.
So your first question is absolutely misconceived one.
ANY EXPARTE DECREE PASSED IN ANY SITUATION IS TREATED EXPARTE AND CAN BE SET ASIDE ON GROUNDS SHOWN REASONABLE IN THE OPINION OF THE COURT.
