They are two seperate and distinct powers.

BBB, page 218, lists Immunity to Normal Weapons as a power and states:
"This power gives a being an armor rating equal tp double its Essence
when resisting damage from ordinary weapons. Against elemental damage,
the effect is halved." This would included ranged, melee, and all
other mundane attacks.

BBB, page 219, details manifestation as a powers and states: "In
addition, manifested spirits have the power of immunity to normal
weapons against ranged combat attacks, for these do not carry the full
'charge' of the attacker's will. Against such attacks, spirits have
'armor' equal to twice their force."

You'll find likewise descriptions of both powers in PAoNA and PAoE.

Grimmy also shows the varied forms of a Free Spirit (Animal Form,
Human Form, and Hidden Life) as having Immunity to Normal weapons, and
references to page 218 of the BBB. This power is above and beyond the
immunity to ranged attacks that comes with Manifestation.
