globbing and (zsh) string matching are nearly identical, so most
people tend to use either term for both things. The main difference is
that * can match across a / in string matching but not in globbing.
Ie, a*b will match "a/b" but not the file a/b, but pretty much
everything else works the same (where applicable).
That's the sort of concise information that's invaluable when you need it.  Tx.
