I am imagining that a missed approach will always require a go around while a go around is not always indicative of a missed approach.
I was on a flight once where we were on final approach but there was still traffic on the runway and we had to go around. (Yes, the pilot informed the cabin that it was traffic that prevented the landing.)
But of course, I'm no pilot, so anyone else could chime in here.
