There is lot of difference between Autoconfig & Rapid Clone. Earlier dba's used to use Autoconfig to clone Oracle Apps 11i Instance and still in background Rapid Clone executes Autoconfig .
In order to understand what is rapid clone in oracle apps 11i check my previous post just below this one.
what's is Autoconfig ?
Autoconfig is utility to configure Oracle Applications 11i using a file based configuration repository also called as context file or XML file.
What is this repository / xml file or context file ?
well there are two context file or repository file one for database & one for applications (Middle Tier, If you are not clear about what is middle tier or database tier visit my Architecture of oracle apps 11i at http://becomeappsdba.blogspot.com/2006/08/apps-architecture.html )
These two files of format $SID_HOSTNAME.xml ( $APPL_TOP/admin in Application Tier & ORACLE_HOME/appsutil in Database tier) which store configuration Information about entire application.

So basic difference between Autoconfig & Rapid clone is these are two utilities one for configuring Oracle Applications 11i & second one to clone Apps 11i Instance using first Utility .
