vinayakas are different from vighneswara.

True.  Shri.Bhaskaraya Makhin while commenting on gaNesha sahasranAma writes as:

"ग्रहा विनायकाभिख्याः सार्धकोटि त्रयात्मकाः"

There are 3.5 crores of grahAs called "vinAyka grahAs" and gaNesha presides over them and hence the name "शिवाभवाद्युष्टकोटिविनायकधुरन्धरः" which is the 995th name.
