The custom image settings doesn't change the way the picture is exposed. They only affect how the correctly exposed image is processed toward a low/high key look.It's kind of a processing preset or a filter applied to the raw file and not a specific set of exposure settings.

On the other hand, exposure compensation really change how the picture is exposed. Which don't necessarily mean, more often than not, a high or low key look. The goal usually being to compensate exposure for scenes with a large amount of white or dark colors leading respectively to a underexposed or overexposed picture. Or, said otherwise, you want the white to look white and the black to look black instead of grey.

Thse are two completely different things.
