Is this same as extension cord? Or can this be used to charge a 2013 leaf? Sorry too many new terminology and I am getting confused.

The charge connector is the "plug". In this case they are selling that plug with 25 feet of cable attached. It's not a complete EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment).

To charge a LEAF you need a complete EVSE; these are 2 components of an EVSE for someone building their own or replacing a cable/plug on an existing EVSE.

Here's a complete EVSE:
