Point Entity is usually defined as simply entity that is not a brush entity i.e. entity that is created by Hammer Entity Tool on specific point on a grid instead of tying a brush model to an entity. More meaningful definition for a point entity is an entity that doesn't render a 3D model and its position in the map affects the entity's functionality. It still may have a visual component (env_sprite, keyframe_rope) or create a visual component (infodecal, info_particle_system) but most of them are without one (info_target, point_hurt, info_teleport_destination, info_elevator_floor). Other types of entities that are also created on a specific point and are usually referred to as point entity are model entities and logical entities.
