They are not equivalent because the first one starts with CGContextTranslateCTM but the second one starts with CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation. In other words, the first one begins by translating the current transform. The second one begins with a plain vanilla translation. The affine transform equivalent of CGContextTranslateCTM is CGAffineTransformTranslate. You might want to say this:
CGAffineTransform tfm = CGAffineTransformTranslate( layer.transform, pos.x, pos.y );
m.
