A software bug is an error, yes.
But "a bug" is still not a synonym for an error.

I most contexts, no. It can be considered an error if viewed from a programmer's perspective, because a bug is viewed as an error in the code of a program. If it is not viewed from a similar perspective, then it is not a synonym. Thesaurus.com can be a helpful place for you.
