I guess?

PTO can usually just be used anytime as long as you give notice and get it approved. That doesn't match with the American definition of 'holidays' since those are specific calendar dates, but I think British English uses the term interchangeably with vacation?

It's not always an acronym- a lot of people will just say 'vacation time.'

But yeah it's basically so that you have one pool for vacation time and sick time that's paid. A lot of places expect you to take unpaid leave if you're sick- or just fuckin work anyways- because unchecked capitalism.
