No, there are some major differences between them. I don't remember exactly what they were, but I remember lots of discussions on VWVortex when the new motor came out.

Some coolant passages are different, the stud holes for the head are in different locations, other than that I think the blocks are the same. Bore size should still be the same, as well as deck height.

The manifolds will be different, you will need the correct flanges for the 24v heads. I thought you were just asking about the block, the heads are different.
