Very commonly used acronyms in business/SWE contexts.
The lower the number the higher the priority, e.g. if production is broken someone might say "This is p -1" (higher than your highest priority).
P0 is "do this immediately", P1 is very important, P2/P3 are like "nice to haves." P100 would mean something like "we will never do this"
Same understanding as you.
At 3am,
P0 = get people out of bed and fix this now.
P1 = we can fix this in the morning.
P2 = we can fix this before CoB today.
P3 = push it into the current sprint.
P4 = put it in backlog.
