Yes, 'variation' = 'difference'.
First context = difference among a group. There was variety (e.g. high and low numbers, good ability and bad ability)
Second context = a new, slightly different version of something.
e.g. This soup is a spicy variation on a traditional favourite.
The "traditional favourite" was changed, but now there are two types of soup (traditional + variation).

Thanks. But I guess there is another meaning to the word. This is because 'difference' does not work in all contexts. Please, reevaluate my examples. Thanks again.

@morrisononodje In the first set of examples you can say 'difference'. If it is noun + variation (e.g. language variation, temperature variation) then we say 'differences in + noun'.
In the second set of examples, I think 'variation' is the best word to use! I think we have to use different verbs instead of a different noun.
e.g. A traditional favourite has been reimagined to create this spicy soup.

Okay, I think I am becoming increasingly confused. Let me show you what I am trying to say.
