Well it's saying that creeping charlie is another name for it, but pointing out that its not the same as the weed also called creeping charlie. This is the problem with common names, they can cause confusion ;P

Swedish Ivy, a common houseplant. Keep trimming it back or it gets leggy. I've had them and they are not low-care plants. They look pretty awful in winter.

I agree! Swedish Ivy. Creeping Charlie is a pilea and has much smaller leaves.

Good! You can start new plants with some healthy cuttings (not the black stuff!)
