The method is called conjugate-structure algebraic-code-excited linear-prediction of plain old CS-ACELP. I would doubt that by downloading a G.729 codec from a different source that it would produce a different quality.

It either complies with the standard or it does not. For example if it did not comply with the standard then you would have problems (depending on the extent or nature of non-compliance). This is why we have standards so that we are guaranteed interoperability.

Of course the codec could be exactly the same and the people offering it for free are just not licensed to distribute it. Unerfahrenheit writes.
