I’m a little confused. Most people are talking about PWAs as though adding a website shortcut to your Home Screen is a PWA. When I search for what a PWA is on Google, it says they can be placed in the app stores. So are they in the app stores or do users have to do the shortcut thing?

Only Google and Microsoft app stores. Apple does not allow them. There are some tools which allow you to package up a pwa into an app that is essentially a thin shell around a webview. Whether or not Apple accepts such an app into their App Store is another variable. For example: https://docs.pwabuilder.com/#/builder/app-store https://docs.pwabuilder.com/#/builder/app-store
