I have been under the impression that a PWB, printed wiring board, is defined as
just using copper traces as wiring form point A to point Z through many other
points or directly and PCB, printed circuit board, is defined as a board that
holds a function within it self, such as a board that has buried resistors or
capacitors therefore making it a true printed circuit board. Someone can correct
me if I am wrong.

At the IPC, we try to use PWB and PCB exactly as you have assumed. But,
judging from the phone calls I get, the industry has not "standardized"
on these terms.
