Not really. Because he still stood in Itachi's way where as he let Oro go. I also don't think Kakashi was as scared due to the fact he still looked into Itachi's eyes while telling the others not to. If anything, he was scared for his comrades. He didn't know how powerful Itachi's ascension was, he felt he was still safe from Genjutsu (why else did he keep staring into his eyes?). Him letting Oro walk away doesn't mean much, the difference is Itachi wanted to fight Kakashi (as far as Kakashi knew), Oro didn't care about fighting Kakashi either way.
