You are right. It is misleading, we have
https://fedorahosted.org/cluster/wiki/FenceArguments to maintain the table
conversion in human-readable format. We are backward compatible for 10+
years and in the ages of RHEL4 there was no virtualization for PC :)
However, with 4.1.x release we plan to synchronize the names (and be
backward compatible as before).

'plug' is a point on power switch that represent power plug that you wish
to switch off/on. In case of virtual machines it is either name or UUID of
the virtual machine.

yes, it should be enough to have VBoxManage in the path. It should be a
configurable option but noone really asked for it yet.
