pretty much right, this is another case of the aquarium industry giving the same thing a new name, HID (High intensith dischage) lighting coveres eveything from MH to HPS and MV and probably a few others I forgot. it is a generic term not a type of bulb.
the bulbs in that pic look like a 150w MH with a socket on the end. so pretty much a SE 150 watt MH with a bi-pin mount instead of a mogal base.
