Yes there's a difference. Omission is an accepted part of writing and is mentioned, for example, in the notorious Bluebook, which guides most American judges and lawyers in their citation style.
You had said the US Supreme Court says "citation withheld". Please provide an example (or two) because, as I said, I don't seeing them do that.
