The difference is that CentOS is a general-purpose OS that can be used
for many things, and has a much bigger installed base. That makes it
more of a target and would likely be included in scanning tools. A
custom OS running on a PBX might also have vulnerabilities, but it's
also probably not a big target because of the diversity of systems out
there and relative limited utility one would have if such a system
were compromised.
That you tend to tend to think of it as an "appliance" running the
phone system does not change the fact that it's actually a full-blown
server OS with the same issues as other servers.
