Yes, "definition space" is the basic idea -- what's sometimes called "name space" with other languages. The technical term in Mathematica is "context". Look up "context" in the Mathematica Documentation Center. And in particular see the page "tutorial/Contexts". Also the page "tutorial/ContextsAndPackages".
