Umm those two descriptions mean the same thing and neither is particularly accurate! A better definition for a sphere of influence is an area (in this instance the Eastern European states) over which you don't directly rule but are able to exert control. The Soviet Sphere of influence (ie Eastern Europe) was therefore a buffer zone, OR a cushion of countries protecting the USSR.
