H264 == AVC (Advanced Video Codec)
H265 == HEVC (High Efficiency Video Codec)
H265 is the defined standard, x265 is the implementation of that standard (likewise for H264 & x264).
Bitrate is the amount of data (in bits) that a video uses per second (almost usually an average) to display the content.
Jellyfin determines if a transcode needs to happen if some incompatibility is reported to the server with the client and the file, or if the bitrate goes over the user-selected bitrate.
