Well yeah, there are smaller and larger bribes... OTOH "Baksheesh" for me is more like a tip that you would give to a waiter in a restaurant, which is the mildest form of corruption possible (if it can even be called that). A fee to get your passport quicker isn't the same as a bribe for me - after all, you can also pay extra to get a better seat on a flight, better service and be able to board sooner, would you consider that bribing the airline? Whereas paying someone at the gate to upgrade you to business class would be bribery...
