Your most probably right. I think the links on the left (on the transition town website) to particular towns and their initiatives are much better at describing what they are about, in more simple terms.
E.G.
Transition Brighton and Hove
Or
Transition Town West Kirby
My interpretation of a Transition town, is a group coming together to guide their town towards a more sustainable future, being less dependent on fossil fuel, helping their local community grow, by encouraging local food production encouraging their community to address climate change, encouraging more local production of energy using renewable energy, etc etc.
Yes i would say a transition town is an 'eco' town and a 'green' town
