Does Cloud Computing = Outsourcing??

No different as far as I can tell. You may want to ask yourself the following:
1. Do you have a dedicated or shared environment?
2. If shared, how is it managed?
3. What information do you host publicly?
4. How do you define and what are your controls? Controls will vary from each environment so translations will be required.

Upshot: If your cloud provider can meet your security goals then you're good. Simple as that.
