No, they do not mean the same thing.
Any minute is kind of like "soon" or "very soon".
The bus will be here any minute now. = The bus is arriving very soon, but I don't know the exact amount of time before it arrives.
They should be here any minute now. = They are arriving very soon, I don't know how long until they get here, but I know they will be here very soon.
