I don't think this equalizes, white still has some pressure. White also has 5. g4 instead of 5. Ne5.
Generally you can reach the discussed position in another move order 1. Nf3 f6 2. Nc3 c6 3. d4 d5 4. e4 (rather than starting with Nf3 d4). So if you play this as black, you can as well play 3... c6 against Nf3 d4 Nc3 rather than learning theory for 3... b5 separately. Ofc you can play 1. Nf3 f6 2. Nc3 Nh6!? or 1. Nf3 f6 2. Nc3 c6 3. d4 e6!?, but they are even worse in my opinion.

f3 d4 obvi
Why I play Nf3 f6 e3 e6 and not Nf3 f6 e3 d5:
Nf3 nd4 spam forever
@Fiyah Nf3 e3 spam is superior to Nf3 Nd4 spam
no way f3 spam better right @natso
How do I play against e6?
What I do is do but then there is Qh4 and I end up with a disadvantage

Your question is unclear. Do you mean what to do as white after e3 e6? You could try Nh3 or Nc3 or Nf3, but Nf3 f6 e3 e6 is a better opening for white.
