Ops Mgr is the same base bits for the "Horizon View" version.. the only difference is the Horizon View distro comes prepackaged with the vC Ops for View adapter and relies on the Custom UI.

I'm not sure what manual you're speaking about, but I'd expect the view distro to focus on alerting/usability in the Custom UI, while your referenced "regular" Ops Mgr may be referring to the vSphere UI. Go the the vC Ops documentation page and view the Custom UI admin guide and vSphere getting started guides to get a full picture of things.
