Hello!

Unlocking typically refers to unlocking the bootloader so that you can put a custom recovery on the phone and flash ROMS.

Flashing is a term used for installing different pieces of software on the phone, such as ROMS, Kernels, themes, and more.

As for the other one..... I've never heard of that term before
