Only thing I can think of is that if you look at the back of the wheel, the inner part of the wheel is the barrel, and if something is struck hard enough to bend the lip and the inner part, that's bending the barrel.

Yep, I believe it's when the inside of your wheel is bent.

Depends on the extent of the bend. If it's really extreme you'll feel it while driving and it might not even hold air slowly leak. But, if it's not too bad, then it should be fine.
