The question is: Is there a theorem that says in a metric space a set is bounded if and only if it is totally bounded?

In a metric space are the terms $bounded$ and $totally$ $bounded$ interchangeable?

No. Consider $\mathbb N = \{1,2,3,\cdots\}$ with the discrete metric $d(x,y)=0,1$ according to whether or not $x=y$.
This cannot be covered with a finite number of $\epsilon=\frac 1 2$ balls, but no two points are more than $1$ from each other.
