I am almost certain that the command

isn't that they same as "mv anything.xxx Anything.xxx" ?
No. For three reasons:

*) it will find and replace 'anything' _anywhere_in_ the filename, not
just in the basename.
I'm confused about your terminology.
The terminology is fine, but the statement isn't quite. That had better
have read:

>> just if that's the entire basename.
You said all of the filenames must match '*.ext'.
No, I didn't. I said that rename will work on all files in the cwd
matching *.ext. Files in the cwd not matching *.ext will be left alone.
