Unless i am mistaken pages are nodes as more or less everything else in drupal that is content, meaning that page = content type = node.

Nodes are used to contain information. Often a node is a webpage, which is themed, and then shipped off to a web-client.
A node could however be a lot of things, "content types", as dopedwizard noted.

A node could be an image, or a link, or both.
You could add a node type for images with a link, and then create a view that builds an image gallery with the images, and opens the link if you click the image.

Or it could just be some text. A page for example.
