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 position in the map affects the entity's functionality (for example info_target, env_sprite, infodecal, point_hurt). 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.
