Yes, yes, yes.

Can someone in the know explain how a new "Core" differs

Core number. Does Core 3 imply that there will be new features bundled
into the product that just do not exist in Core 2, even if fully
updated?
Yes. Features will be added and/or integrated, packages will be upgraded
(by major version), removed and substituted.
By it's nature, is Core 3, Test 1, for instance, "less
stable" than core
2 ?
Yes. Don't even assume that the installation will even start on your
hardware.
Would Core 2, for instance, be considered a "release" while
Core
3, Test XX be considered a "pre-release" or beta?
Fedora Core 2 is considered a (somewhat) stable release. The Test releases
are for testing purposes only. They represent a stabilised snapshot of the
development tree and will help in testing the current situation.
No updates will ever be released for a test release. One can either change
to bleeding edge Development or stick with it until a future release.
Elementary questions, I guess. But, I want to understand how to
regard,
for instance, Core Release 2 vs Core Release 3 Test 1.
Don't install it on production systems. But if you have time and a system
to spare (your home system, perhaps, if you don't deem data loss that
important), try the Test releases and test them. :)
