Those products are basically the same thing, so the terms are often used interchangeably. The trick here is that all types of dried plums used to be called prunes, and this name is still the most popular option in Europe and Asia. However, it has fallen out of favor in the US, because marketing studies showed that a major group of consumers (women, age 25-54) has a subconscious negative reaction to the word. Therefore, the term ‘dried plum’ is the more common in America and it’s gradually winning the leading position in the world. There is also a consideration of the plum species. There is a type of prune plum, which should reasonably be called a prune in either fresh or dried state. However, this distinction is mostly overlooked. Considering this, you can safely use the product labeled ‘dried plums’ in any recipe that calls for prunes.
