The AF system indeed is the same.

Dpreview indicates it's not exactly the same :

"It's not the entire 1D X AF system - because the 5D Mark III doesn't have the 1D X's 100,000 pixel metering sensor to gain tracking information from, nor a dedicated DIGIC 4 processor to make sense of it all. However, even without them, it's still one of the most comprehensive AF systems on the market and, most importantly, brings the camera much closer to the level of contemporary Nikons."
Rob Galbraith notes :
"All AF settings and options are identical to the EOS-1D X, except one: there is no EOS iTR AF (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition AF) option on the 5D Mark III, since it requires the higher-resolution metering sensor of the EOS-1D X."
