If I'm correct, Openstack is different from Openshift and Openshift actually runs on top of Openstack, right? It's more like an appserver that can run Ruby on Rails, Play framework, etc., right? Because very often I tend to get confused between the two..because of the vague similarity in their names..

Yes, they're different. OpenShift Origin is a PaaS, as you describe. You generally run it on top of an IaaS such as OpenStack, although the hosted OpenShift actually runs on AWS (which is also an Iaas).

OpenShift (https://www.openshift.com/ https://www.openshift.com/) is a PaaS, made by RedHat. OpenStack (http://www.openstack.org/ http://www.openstack.org/) is an IaaS cloud platform, maintained as an open source offering by Rackspace, and originally created by a partnership between NASA and Rackspace. OpenShift could theoretically run in an OpenStack cloud, as just about anything could, but the two products are in no way related to my knowledge.
