Yes, zine is short for magazine, but the word carries additional connotations such as handmade or low production, anti-capitalist/fascist, and freely distributed
When I think of a pamphlet I think of the trifold thing or something similar, a zine would be several pages usually, probably staple bound. Though not as big as a proper magazine. I feel like a small pamphlet would be a postcard, or a one-sheet, or a leaflet, or something.
The other comments give the answer, but if you’re interested in the history of them, the Wikipedia article has a good bit of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine
What the fuck is a zine? A magazine?

Those things you listed can still be zines. It’s really more about the content and context than the format.
That’s fair!
