Is the "ground attack" of CAS planes the same as soft attack in land divisions?

No they are two different things. Im pretty sure ground attack don't care about hardness at all so armored divisions are very vulnerable to ground attack.
Ground attack is not affected by hardness or armor. Also, I don't think it's affected by defense/breakthrough.
That sounds pretty OP if it ignores basically every defense stat of a division!
The downside is that you don't get as much, it can be disrupted by enemy fighters, and it isn't "on" all the time like soft and hard attack are.
Its is how much damage CAS deal to the Org and Strength of a division. It ignores defence stats because it works in a different way and is stopped in different ways, it is supposed to be strong against Tanks because they have low health.
Not every stat.
Divisions with AA guns can inflict damage on planes and disrupt their bombing. The higher the air attack of a division, the more likely it is to do these things.
I've done some tests using older MP saves, and the difference between no AA, some crappy support AA, and significant AA is substantial if the enemy tries to constantly bomb you.
Armored versions of AA guns, particularly heavy SPAA, can murder CAS if you upgrade their guns. And AA guns in a division cuts the air superiority penalty (if you are suffering from it in the first place).
And, of course, CAS can't ground attack if they are getting intercepted and shot down by fighters every day.
