I believe the result is the same.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I specifically stated the OS for which these instructions were meant (CentOS 5.2 - 32 bit). Following them to the letter, php and php-cgi will be installed in /usr/local/bin/ and php-fpm in /usr/local/sbin/. php-fpm.conf will be in /usr/local/etc/. php.ini will need to be in /usr/local/lib/. 

In a stock CentOS php is in /usr/bin/ and php.ini in /etc/. I have done it this way now in dozens of servers and it has not "messed up" any systems. I use different options in 64 bit CenOS but they amount to the same basic thing.
