If the sample data seen by the A/D is truly zero, then yes. But in practice
it's hard to make that actually happen.
There will be noise from the input circuitry, and A/D converter itself.

It sounds like the active oscillator is more accurate, with less jitter. If you
have an appropriate digital scope,
you could make some jitter, or "eye", measurements, and compare.
