They could be interchangeable. there's no textual basis for there
being any real difference between squibs and muggles, any more than
between muggleborn and pureblood/halfblood/second-gen wizards.
Remember, "you are either magical or you are not".

It could be that "squib" is to "wizard-born muggle" as "mudblood" is
to "muggle-born wizard".
