They are not quite the same (it may not matter in the context at hand, which
I've lost).

set fContents to (every item of theList)

should be more like
copy theList to fContents

Having claimed that, I'll test:

set theList to {1, 2, 3}
set list2 to (every item of theList)
set list3 to theList
copy theList to list4
set item 2 of theList to "two"
{list2, list3, list4}

Result was {{1, 2, 3}, {1, "two", 3}, {1, 2, 3}}
