They appear to be separate "categories" - you can have starred messages, important (use the +/- buttons to toggle) messages, and you can have important messages that are starred. I find it quite easy to use - Google tries to work out what's important for you, while stars are manually set, either by filters or added yourself.
What is interesting to note is that your Priority Inbox can split the important email from the starred email - and that you can decide which to show (or not).
