it's the same thing. one is just more coarse. but the powdered sugar in donuts, they add some sort of oil to it for it to stick well

No.

Question:
My question always is when reading a recipe is what is the difference between confectioners sugar and powdered sugar. Why do all recipes call it the first and not the second?
Answers:
As you already know, confectioners' sugar and powdered sugar are the same thing. I believe it is a regional thing on which term is used in recipes. In the northwest, where I live, we call it powdered sugar and use that term in our recipes. I noticed that most of the southern cookbooks call it confectioners' sugar.
It is no different than the terms used for butter. On the west coast, that is where I am from, we say cubes of butter. On the east coast they say sticks of butter. There are probably a lot more cooking terms that are used regionally, but that is all I could thing of right now.
