Right.  It is malt powder cut with powdered milk and wheat flour (according
to one label) to produce measurable amounts without making the malt flavor
overpowering.  It is the stuff used in malts, sodas and other dishes where
you want a hint of malt.

Malt powder and malt syrup tend to be used in making commercial quantities
or where you want a strong malt flavor.

Malted milk and malt powder serve similar purposes, but have different
potencies.   

Diatasic malt is a specialized malt exceptionally high in the enzyme diatase
to improve fermentation.  The primary use I know of is in commercial
bakeries.
