Yeah,  basically, although for a Human to have a wish granted, it has to be one exceptional Human.They are what modern Elves derived from, however our modern name for an Elf - Vilenjak, is actually another being entirely, forgotten in time by most people. Fun fact is in some parts of Croatia, fairies- Vile, singular Vila, are also known as Dive, singular Diva. Hell, my city in which I was born and raised is known as Divić grad, Divić also mean miracle or wonder attributed to be performed by these fairies.

What that has in common with genies/jinns/djinns, they actually suffered the same 'bastardization' of their legend of origin, same as werewolves, vampires and warlocks, who once were believed to be a singular being. That's why both Djinn of the jar and Genie can exist at the same time. However the poor Djinn needs a major makeover if she want to stand a chance of getting a hubby with her prettier cousin now being a thing.
