I'm I right to surmise that "graphical" refers to graphs rather than "graphics", or was that just one example in the video?

Yes, "graphical models" are a formalism for representing and reasoning about probability distributions using graphs.
Yes. Confusing, isn't it?
For me, as non native English speaker is more confusing.

In Portuguese we say grafos(graphs) and gráficos, when we refer to pics and images. And when I read something in English, I wonder if its graphs referring to maths or to pics.
