Your first sentence is correct: f(4) = f(2) means Billy uses the same number of boxes for a 4‑bottle order as for a 2‑bottle order.

The second sentence is not necessarily true unless you already know f(2) = 2. f(4) = f(2) only says the two values are equal; it does not give the actual number of boxes. For example, both could be 1 box, both 2 boxes, etc.
