Not sure why the confusion.

This is completely different....
Bluetooth is the only way to connect your BB to the PlayBook. There is no cable interface to connec the two together.
The point being made is that IF tethering only allows you access to your Enterprise account (email, calendar) and does not allow you to use the 3G/Cellular network for web browsing, you would need WiFi access which some are opposed to.
To my knowledge, you should be able to use your BB to not only access Enterprise information BUT as well to browse the internet. I'll talk to a friend who's actually been using it and has colleagues who are working on it and get an answer.
It's nice to have friends at RIM, you can sometimes get clairification on questions like this ;)
