I wasn't sure if the question was comparing the objects or the object references. Anyway, the = relational operator can check if the references are the same, while COMPOBJ will compare the properties and values etc. of two distinct objects to see if they are the same.
Your combobjs function will return the same result as the = operator (in VFP 6.0 only!)

>o2 = o1

>In this case the function would return true.
