This describes which graphics driver is used.
"fb" is a pure open source driver while "pvr" uses a closed source driver.
The difference is that pvr has 3d acceleration and that video playback 
works at least a little bit with this one.

Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Yes, upgrading should be easily possible this way.

Just in case, this guide also applies to the new images:
