Are Maestro and Mastercard cards considered the same? Stupid question, but still

Actually, the answer is surprisingly No. Maestro is Debit card. Master Card is mainly Credit card(but also others)Visa equivalent is Visa Electron.

There are just two banks that offers Maestro Cards and it's a debit card, Citi and SBI (AFAIK)

Credit Cards are basically Visa, Master, Discover and AMEX

On Vodafone's website it says that they accept Maestro Card, but it doesn't work on the payment gateway.

Ahem, I have a Central Bank of India Maestro Card...
