Present perfect vs momentary present tense

I give few examples below. Please consider my examples.

1. Here we are. ( present simple carrying the sense of immediacy)
1.a. We have arrived.

2. Here the bus comes. ( present simple carrying the sense of immediacy)
2.b. The bus has arrived.

3. I am home. ( present simple carrying the sense of immediacy)
3.c. I have come back/returned home.

Now my question is that in this case, are the present simple and present perfect carrying the same meaning?
