they both work perfectly and have the same meaning, they are just different types of past tense. the first one is past simple tense and the second one is past continuous.
for example
past simple "she waited"
past continuous "she was waiting"

there's this sentence from a grammar book I've been thinking about. I wanted to know if you find it unnatural as a native.

he was checking in at the hotel reception as a friendly American couple started to chat to him. do you think it'd be better if I used 'when' instead of 'as'

@gotmittuns both would work well but i would use 'when' because it sounds more natural and straightforward

so you're impression is that even the third sentence sounds natural but I think if I used ' when ' instead of ' as' it'd be more natural.

but again 'as' is not quite wrong and has a similar meaning. right?

@gotmittuns yes in this situation 'as' has the same meaning and is still correct and makes perfect sense
