What is a "concurrent build"?
Browsing Pages plans and notice a limit to "concurrent builds". Features states "1 build at a time" for Free and "5 concurrent builds" for Pro. What does that mean?

Basically, there are two(ish) ways to deploy to Pages.
The first is via Github/lab, where Pages will build your project and then deploy it. Because this involves spawning a container for the build, Pages will limit the number of concurrent builds you can run, and the total number of builds per month. This is where the limits you mention come in.
The second way of deploying to Pages is via Direct Upload. This is where you upload your files via the dash, or via wrangler. With this method, you can run as many uploads as you want concurrently, since they don't require Cloudflare to spin up a container.
So, it's practically a "build JOB?"
Yes, that is correct
