Is a Habano wrapper the same as a Habana 2000?

So far as I know, "Habano wrapper" in the NC world either speaks of it's shade (it's a reddish maduro) or that it's grown from cuban seed. So yes, in some instance, it could mean it's from Havanah 2000 seed.
I don't think it's at all a direct connection like I think you're thinking, cause a "Habano wrapper" could be from any other kind of cuban seed, too.
In my personal experience, I've enjoyed Habano wrappers. They are lighter than maduros, but have almost as much sweetness, but seem to have a little bit spicier finish. They're good. It's pretty much as light as I'll go so far as wrapper is concerned. I usually stick with maduros and oscuros. I do enjoy some Habanos and Corojos. I have no idea what a Corojo is, but I find them about the same color as a Habano, a little less sweet, and usually spicy as well. I really can't tell an appreciable difference between corojo's and habano's.
IIRC, they used to use a lot of corojo in cc's. It was from Criollo tobacco seed. Now they use a lot more Habana 2000 and Criollo Especial seed.
I sure rambled a long way in a short time there, didn't I?
