Checkout means that you have a master branch somewhere (usually on
central server) where all history kept, and you have working files of
this branch on your computer. Working files corresponding to the this
master branch is called "checkout". Sometimes this is also called
"working copy".

Branch is a standalone copy of your project history, it's including the
history and working tree.

Checkout is often just working tree of another branch.

So, while using checkout several people can work together on the same
branch, sharing history via central server. This is very close to the
way how SVN works.

For personal usage I'd recommend to use branch, until you will become
more familiar with bzr.
