Most people in the FI community refer to a twin turbo as a set of identical turbos (i.e. twins) feeding off two different banks of a V-platform motor. There is also a sequential turbo setup (e.g. OEM Supra), that has two different sized turbos in sequence rather than in parallel. The compound turbo setup is similar, but the piping is a bit different based on what I have seen. Similar concept and goals, though. Then there is what is commonly referred to as twin-charging, which is a supercharger + a turbo.
