No, this is clearly connections, not sessions. At least based on the items
in the postgresql.conf file, especially max_connections (probably one of the
items most closely associated with pg_stat_activity)

Well, but it doesn't show database connection(s) only, it also shows what actions are currently performed through the various connections on the databases and state information about them. I'm not a native english speaker, but i have the feeling that "sessions" is better suited for this kind of interactive monitoring. I believe Oracle also has a v$session view to query various information about what's going on.
