Yes, "what a thing is" is different from "that a thing is". You can have two things with entirely different "whatness" while still having in common the fact that they exist. If that is so then existence actually is something attributable to each. But I take issue with your binary approach to existence since it does not take into account why things exist as they do in the first place.
