One question for HN moderators: Is flag the same as downvote? For example, I think this is useless PR stuff, not interesting in any manner. So should I flag it like I would downvote a comment? Or flag is mostly for more harmful things suchs as spammy or innacurate posts; and I should just hope less people upvote it and its buried?

You should flag a story if you think it's off-topic for HN, i.e. you think it shouldn't be here. Since useless PR stuff shouldn't be here, that's definitely a legit reason to flag a story.
