Yes - the Kenko tubes are of a more sturdy construction and also have electrical contacts in them - that means you can control the aperture of your lens when you put it on and your camera is also able to use its metering so that you can get a correct exposure.
With the cheap tubes its generally a thinner construction (not as strong) and no electrical contacts, so there goes your metering and aperture control - both things that you really need.
