Is the 4 cylinder engine in the latest Forester (FB25 i think) the same 4 cylinder
that can be found in the Outback.

FB 2.5L series was first put in the older Forester with the 4spd AT in 2011 I believe. Then introduced in the 2013 OB model with the CVT.

The Impreza has a 2L FB version released in the all new Impreza with the CVT in 2013

Basically, yes.
