Both are using the exact same packages (pacman -S wine-staging && pacman -S $(pactree -l wine-staging))

IIRC one of them installs a lot more ? I had a weird issue at one point where I needed to install d3dx9 to play the Monkey Island Special Editions.

I'm not sure but look at the verbs in winetricks, there are comments about that:

Try sticking to d3dx9_36 if you need it. Otherwise, WINE's builtin alternative should be fine. D3dx9 just extracks the components needed from the directx9 installer. Directx9 installs the whole thing, even the parts that tend to conflict with WINE.
The game on the intel laptop was probably trying to run a bit of different code for the intel chipset, something that wasn't properly handled by WINE's alternative.

DirectX is a collection of API, the most common being Direct3D (for 3D graphics). D3DX is an extension (the "x" in the name) library for Direct3D.
