Despite their name it is improbable the woodsmen lived exclusively within the region of the greenwood. To maintain economic and social viability they would have to have inhabited a larger area then is being suggested, a few settlements within the edge of the forest would just not work demographically. So I must say that it seems likely that the valesmen and woodsmen belong to the same extended faction and the only real difference between the two is what manner of terrain their villages are built upon.

Personally I think that the faction should be identified as woodsmen, if only because that's the name used in The Hobbit and that people are more likely to know what it means.
