the term "binding key" is not used widely (I don't think 0-9-1 spec uses it, or any popular
clients do).

Your understanding of the two is correct but both are called routing key. A more appropriate term
for queue.bind and exchange.bind would probably be "routing pattern" but it would
not be very precise for e.g. fanout exchanges.
