there is no direct requirement that a cradle connect the camera to anything more than a battery charger. Docking Station definately implies a connection to the computer.

I would think that is correct. Docking stations in computerese are to connect (dock) something to the computer. There may or may not be a charging facility. Cradles almost always hold something for charging, even cordless vacuum cleaners come with charging cradles.
Of course dealing with digital cameras, you are also dealing with advertising types. Strict correctness in terminology is not something those guys are noted for. You probably have to read the documentation to determine exactly what they mean by that.
