No, they are not almost the same thing.  Kahlua is a coffee liqueur and Creme 
de Cacao is a Cocoa liqueur.

Kahlua is a Mexican coffee liqueur with herbs and vanilla.

Creme de cacao

Crème de cacao is a cacao (chocolate bean) flavored liqueur, often scented 
with vanilla. It is different from chocolate liqueur, which is usually sweeter 
and more syrupy.

It exists in two different variations: Dark crème de cacao is dark brown, 
while White crème de cacao is a clear, colorless form of the same liqueur.

If a recipe calls for just crème de cacao, the white variant is usually the 
correct to use.

You normally substitute Godiva chocolate liqueur with Creme de Cacao.
