Is a MiCA license the same as a CASP license?

Yes.

Bitpanda holds this authorisation through Bitpanda GmbH.

This EU entity is a different company from Bitpanda's global platform and must follow MiCA's rules, which can mean different terms, leverage limits or product availability than Bitpanda's international site. If you are an EU/EEA resident, using the Bitpanda GmbH entity is what gives you MiCA-regulated protections.
