C/C++ :: Using Auto To Declare A Pointer?

I write these code in 2 different ways and I get the same result. I just want to make sure that they both are for declare a pointer using "auto"

The first one:

int varName = 10;
auto var1 = &varName;
cout << var1 << endl; //prints, varName address
cout << *var1 << endl; //prints, varName value

The second one:

int varName = 10;
auto *var2 = &varName;
cout << var2 << endl; //prints, varName address
cout << *var2 << endl; //prints, varName value

It doesn't matter if I put dereference operator or not, I still get the same result. I just want to make sure that var1 and var2 are both a pointer.
