Hola Ismael,
Es así, en inglés hay dos formas de decir 'hacer'.
The way I learnt this was to memorise what expressions you normally use with 'make' and which ones with 'do', but using your examples, you can also think of 'make' as meaning something you do manually, while 'do' is more of a mental task.
However, I would take this 'rule' with a pinch of salt. There are other expressions such as 'make a mistake', 'do the washing up', that don't follow it.
Así que te sugiero aprender qué expresiones se usan siempre con 'do' y cuáles con 'make'. Puede sonar difícil, pero eventualmente te acostumbras y te empezará a sonar mal decir 'make the homework'.
¡Espero haberte ayudado!
