PBR would be Physically Based Rendering I believe.

Assuming it’s not Pabst Blue Ribbon, yeah.

Though i’m no expert, I believe it’s effectively the same as HDR lighting with light probes, ball enviorment maps and the like.

Take a bunch of pictures of the area, light with that.

PBR is Physically based lighting
It does not require an image in order to use it but it benifits greatly from using one.

IBL – image based lighting
FG – Final Gather
GI – Global illumination

all are an attempt to replicate the look and functionality of “Real Lighting”
however they all work a bit differently.
