I think node should mean instance for both physical and logical

If you are creating a subscription that connects to the same instance
(replication between 2 databases in the same cluster), your definition is not
correct and Alvaro's definition is accurate. The node definition is closely
linked to the connection string. While the physical replication does not
specify a database (meaning "any database" referring to an instance), the
logical replication requires a database.
