You already know more than about 1/2 the car people out there. You used the proper terminology. The other two common, and completely incorrect terms for naturally aspirated are:

1. Normally aspirated (What's normal? In other parts of the world, turbos are normal and have been for a long time)
2. Non aspirated. (So the engine uses no air? Okay.)

It means just engine, no power adder. It means sucking the air nature provides. Superchargers and NOS are the alternatives. Welcome to the world of performance, your question speaks volumes.:)
