A plugin is an executable - ie. it's a program you can run, like you can run Inkscape or GIMP. A script is a set of text instructions which are run by a script interpreter (script-fu).
Thus, it's easy to tell the difference: * If it has a .scm extension, it's a script * Failing that, if you can open it in a text editor and it looks somewhat readable, it's a script.
