They are separate, complementary concepts which can occur separately or jointly. The String Theory multiverse includes many different regions of space created e.g. by many pockets of cosmoc inflation, possibly with different laws of physics. Many worlds quantum mechanics posits that within universe, reality splits up whenever a "random" decision at the quantum level occurs, and there are a set of parallel realities in which all possible results of that particular process occur.
