So far as I know, while they both meet the definition of "one-time password", Google's "backup codes" are independent of the time-varying TOTP codes which you would get from Google Authenticator or FreeOTP. There is no app and no URI or QR code, just a predetermined list of 10 static codes, each of which can be used at most once in an emergency. If you need more you have to go back to your account page at Google and download a new list.

Yeah, they're an independent thing, but I store them next to the TOTP key (which is duplicated for backups) as well as ciphered on paper I keep around.
