Eq. (1) is a passive general coordinate transformation of a scalar in GR, or is an active Lorentz transformation of a scalar in SR, while eq. (2.121) is an active scale transformation.
AnIn contrast, an active infinitesimal diffeomorphism generated by a vector field $X$ of a scalar $\phi$ in GR satisfy satisfies $${\cal L}_X\phi = X[\phi].$$
Eq. (2.121) is an active scale transformation.
