More or Less, BOing is right.

The Trap barrel will have the high rib, it encourages you to shoot above and beyond the clay, so that the clay will run into your pattern.

Skeet is a much more "level" and close range shot, require more of a lateral lead, often much more, than a vertical one. Thus, the rib does not need to induce any differential in hieght between the point of aim and the trajectoy of the pattern.

The trap style barrel will likely my an Improved Cylinder or Modified Choke, while the Skeet will be cylinder or "Skeet".

If you decide to try Sproting Clays or 5-Stand, which both represent bird hunting more realistically, you will probably want a Skeet style rib with an Imporoved Cylinder Choke.. or light mod at the tightest, depending on the course.
