What is the difference between dutch oven and casserole pot?

Hello r/AskCulinary, I'm a first-time dutch oven buyer in a country without a tradition of cooking with dutch oven (or oven for that matter) so I have some very seemingly basic question I'd like to ask.

As I was doing desk research on the topic, I found out that glass casserole pot (something like this I believe https://cdn.nguyenkimmall.com/images/detailed/166/noi-thuy-tinh-visions-3.5l-vs-3.5.jpg), aside from being oven-safe, is sometimes claimed to work with stove-top as well. My girlfriend did use it to cook soup and it didn't break. On the other hand, some other sources said that it will break under stove-top direct heat.

Is that true and it's just by dumb luck that my girlfriend didn't break her glass casserole pot or dutch oven and casserole pot are indeed similar in that they're suitable for both oven and stove-top use? If that's the case, what are the pros and cons of each? What about stockpot?

Additional question, what do you think about Lodge dutch oven? - https://shop.lodgemfg.com/prodcat/dutch-ovens-and-casseroles.asp

Thank you very much!
