In a front-end project, being "headless" means that all functions can work without dependence on any user interface elements/components. With Refine, you can use features such as data management, authentication, real-time functionality, audit-logging, internationalization, and access control with any user interface element/component of your choice. This means that Refine does not restrict you in terms of styling and customization.

Is there any difference between "server side" and "headless" in this context?

In this context, "server side" and "headless" refer to different things. "Server side rendering" (SSR) or "client side rendering" (CSR) refer to a method of rendering a website or application, while "headless" refers to the architecture of the application's business logic.
