Short answer. Largely yes. Under Rule 107, Section 6, the judge who appoints a representative, trustee, or administrator for an absentee must specify that person's powers, obligations, and remuneration by regulating them according to the rules concerning guardians. So the appointee's authority is patterned on guardianship rules, though the judge still tailors the specifics case by case.

The order does not appoint someone with open-ended authority
A representative, trustee, or administrator for an absentee is not simply named and left to decide the scope of the job. Rule 107, Section 6 requires the court to define it: the judge shall take the necessary measures to safeguard the rights and interests of the absentee and shall specify the powers, obligations and remuneration of his representative, trustee or administrator, regulating them by the rules concerning guardians. The appointing order itself has to spell out what the person may do, what they owe the absentee, and what they may be paid, rather than leaving that open.
Guardian rules are the reference point the judge must use
The section answers your question directly: the judge does not invent the framework from scratch, but regulates the appointee's powers, obligations, and pay by the rules concerning guardians. That means a representative managing an absentee's property is meant to operate within the same body of rules that already governs an ordinary guardian, rather than under some looser or entirely separate standard. In that sense, the powers and limits are meant to track guardianship rules, not depart from them.
But the exact scope still comes from your relative's own order
Because the judge must specify the powers, obligations, and remuneration in each case, the precise limits are not automatically identical to every guardian's in every other proceeding. The court's order for your relative's estate is what actually fixes the appointee's authority, using guardianship rules as the regulating standard. Reading the order itself, rather than assuming it mirrors some other guardianship you know of, is how you would confirm exactly what the appointee may and may not do with the property.
The appointment itself requires proof and, for a formal declaration, a waiting period
The appointment is not automatic either. Upon satisfactory proof of the allegations in the petition, the court shall issue an order granting the same and appointing the representative, trustee or administrator for the absentee. And where the proceeding involves a formal declaration of absence rather than only the property administration, the rule adds a further safeguard: in case of declaration of absence, the same shall not take effect until six months after its publication in a newspaper of general circulation designated by the court and in the Official Gazette.
