Not the same people (I mean in terms of being the same tribe not in terms of both being inuit; in fact they might not have been the same people at all since the area also has cree and atikamek groups), also if they're Inuit, the Skraeling are only recently from Asia on a great scale and would not be affected by the die off; this is also just around the time we stop finding bows in inuit culture on the continent. If the vikings are going to be a problem, they're going to meet groups that can easily crush them.
Even 10% of the population of the americas can still overwhelm 11th century vikings, and the die off was most likely closer to 80 than to 90%. Even if it's 90%, there's still 4000 Beothuk on Vinland alone.
