You are correct on all accounts (PowerShell, symbolic link and this report not being about shortcut files).

The commands in the 1st post will create a test scenario with an (empty) regular file and a symbolic link to that file on your desktop.

I'm not sure when symlinks were exactly introduced in the Windows ecosystem and/or what the required steps are to activate them on older windows builds. I do know however that the next update will probably start increasing their popularity for using them under windows 10 by not requiring admin credentials after activating that feature.
