Plus, at one time, AppleTalk was called LocalTalk, which could mean the networking protocols or the actual cable it ran over.
No. AppleTalk was always AppleTalk - a published stack of networking protocols.
LocalTalk is a lower software layer (more or less just above the physical device driver), that lets the higher AppleTalk layers transit RS232/442 serial daisy-chains.
TokenTalk does this over token ring LANs.
EtherTalk does this over Ethernet.
MacIP tunnels AppleTalk through TCP/IP networks.
...And since Apple was kind enough to publish all the AppleTalk protocols from day one, there have been a number of hacked together lower layers floating around over the years that supported connections over things like SCSI and other specialty interfaces...
