Astigmatism is irregularity in corneal curvature. It can be corrected with glasses.
Keratoconus is severe irregularity in corneal curvature. This causes such irregularities in cornea that vision may not be corrected with glasses. Patient needs rigid contact lenses and/ or other modalities to improve vision.
So ,I can say All astigmatism is not Keratoconus. But all Keratoconus patients have astigmatism.
