No, that's more of a convenient side effect. Similar actions were built so that similar actions can share partial familiarity. Like going in/out of a facility that's unpowered, so you have to manually crank the airlock.
If two different locations have a "take X supply" action, will those be considered "the same action"? For example the protein bars in the various admin offices.
On an unrelated note, if a combined action contains another combined action, how many times is the 1.1x multiplier applied?
