Hi!

Is "a dinner party and a dinner gathering" the same meaning?

Thanks

Dinner gathering is a bit strange, not a phrase I have ever heard used. You might have a dinner at a gathering, but it is not called a 'dinner gathering'. Stick to dinner party.

I can imagine some people trying to be informal and all, and avoid using party.
Pretty non-standard, as Nona mentioned.
