Just a wild guess. Where did you see them referenced?
In lessons.

I've never actually heard the term "pseudo pawn" in chess, but it is possibly an alternate name for a term I already know. I know "Pseudo" means "Fake" so my educated guess is either:
1) a pawn which doesn't really change anything such as a doubled pawn which is blocked by a friendly pawn and can't advance or
2) a "faker pawn" as described in Kmoch's book Pawn Power in Chess. A Faker Pawn is an enemy pawn which is positioned a Knights-jump-distance from your pawn and is on an adjacent file to that pawn. A white pawn on d4 may have an enemy faker on c6 or e6.

Never heard of "pseudo" Pawns.
There are a few chess openings that include that word, though.
The Pseudo-Tarrasch in the QGD, for example. Or the Pseudo-Dutch in the Nimzo.

maybe its a bishop relegated to basically serving as a pawn for defence

Ooh yes, that is a good one too. IM Jeremy Silman likes to poke fun at that piece by calling it a "tall pawn" in those types of positions xD

... or maybe somebody attempted a humorous play on words, but it fell flat... a pseudo pun!
