All pull/change/merge requests are diffs, but not all diffs are pull/change/merge requests.

Right, but in the context of making code changes, you can use diff. Which aligns with the Unix tool diff, and application of said diff with patch. So diff and patch are the operations that happen as you mutate a code base.
