Here's a LITTLE bit of a SketchUp History lesson! In the SketchUp world, "plugin" historically meant any ruby code that could be added to SketchUp to extend SketchUp's functionality. "Scripts" and "Rubies" are other terms that mean "Plugin." You may see these terms USED interchangeably. All of these terms refer to text files with a .rb (ruby) or .rbs (SCRAMBLED ruby) extension that contain Ruby programming code. Since about SketchUp 2013, SketchUp has been moving AWAY from "Plugins" and ENCOURAGING developers to embrace "Extensions."
