You can't always use either 'I am' or 'I'm', because even though they mean the same ("I'm" is the contraction of "I am") they are not used the same way. When in the final position, you can't use "I'm", for ex. in short answers:
Are you from China? - Yes, I am. Not: - Yes, I'm. ...Just doesn't sound right.

If I am not wrong (or I'm not...) This is a contraction and both can be used.
"I am" is more formal and "I'm " is usual but both are correct!
