I do not think the AWA section is similar. It is difficult to describe. I think if you google it you may be able to find some insight, but I know when I googled it the samples I came across were very easy and so I underestimated it. My actual problem was very challenging, and perhaps the purpose was to see how I would do when the problem was completely over my head.
I had a similar experience with my presentation too which was on a topic I was pretty unfamiliar with. For me the issue was more that there were 2 parts to the question and they weren't very related. I think as long as you have some sort of structure to your presentation, it would be fine though. My interviewer didn't ask questions regarding the presentation so I'm sure they don't really expect you to know the topic you're talking about.
Good luck and congrats to all those who got interview invites!
