IEEE uses a style that is common for journal articles and academic works. The _citation_ is the full "description" of the work -- author, title, date, publication, etc. The document you linked describes the citation styles for various kinds of works and calls them "citiation standards".

The _reference_ is the in-text pointer to a citation. While a citation might be:

Confusingly, citations are usually listed at the end of the paper in a section called "References", though sometimes you see "Works Cited". If IEEE has guidelines for the title of this section, I couldn't find it.
