Roughly yes; but the thing is, when someone is saying something ridiculously unbelievable to your face, it's more common to say "are you kidding me?/you've got to be kidding me!" than the other; // A is more on verbal and B is non verbal
"Are you kidding me?" = roughly is "are you joking me?"
"Are you pulling my leg? (More naturally/commonly said as: "are you pulling on my leg?/you've got to be pulling on my leg.") = to tease someone/to play tricks on someone
