At virtqueue level it is same.
In context of virtio net device, transmit operation is queued that awaits processing (to send) by device.
While receive side, its unsolicited operation done by driver that doesn't await processing by device.
Whenever/if in future when a packet arrives, the posted buffer is consumed.

So enqueue and post were capturing this contextual detail.
But maybe I am trying to be too precise here but above wording were more natural to me at net level. :)
Let me know..
