The main difference is the dough: morning buns have a light, flaky croissant-like dough, while cinnamon rolls use a softer, denser bread dough. This leads to morning buns being airier and pull-apart, while cinnamon rolls are more pillowy.
In most contexts, "cinnamon bun" and "cinnamon roll" refer to the same sweet treat. They are both soft, yeast doughs, filled with cinnamon and sugar, and often topped with icing.
