That is not the same phrase or the same meaning. As I pointed out in #79 above, the evening/morning pattern appears in places like Daniel 8 and Psalm 55, too, but without the repeated verb that is only found in Genesis 1: "there was evening and there was morning." That is quite different than "from evening until morning" - I would take that to mean "overnight," not a normal "24-hour" day: from evening until morning (overnight) it was fire, and from morning to evening it was acloud.
However one prefers to define or exemplify an idiom (like "pay the piper" or "pull ones leg") it has the same meaning whenever it is used.
