Oxygen is cracked from air, and then liquefied….To get the 2 grand plus pressure used in a bottle it IS run through a (very special) compresses and then into a manifold where dozens of bottles are connected and filled. – I a “real” gas supplier anyway. While you can get a bottle filled “on the spot” from a bank at a small rural supplier the normal way at an industrial supplier is just to exchange bottles that have been on the manifold the day before you got there.
And NO there is no differance at all in the oxygen that goes into the bottles. It must be 99%+ pure or it will not work to cut steel with an Oxy Fuel cutting torch.
