As my wife in Romania and I prepare for the NVC steps before the approval of our I-130, we were following LingChe's NVC shortcut document LingChe NVC Shortcut

In several places within this document are references to "original or certified copies" of documents. What does "certified" mean? Does this mean the same as "notarized"?

No it's not the same as notarized. Certified copies are not photocopies. They are official copies from the issuing body or the official agency that would normally issue the particular civil document in your country. E.g. a certfied divorce document will be from the court, a certfied birth certfificate will be from the appropriate government records agency... In short they are 'originals'.
