I think that
State machines are more concerned with the actions that can take place. FBP is more concerned with the data that is moving through the system.
is a fair assessment of the differences. With a state machine, you want to make sure that you can move through the states of the machine to some valid exit state; if so, then the machine has succeeded, else you failed. With FBP, you push data in and wait for data out, but if nothing comes out, that's just a valid response as if you did get data.
