>> Some cel sites only take international postal money orders. 
   Are these the same as international money orders?

No.  
An international POSTAL money order in US dollars is issued 
at the post office and can be easily cashed at any US post office 
without problems. I believe this is true at international post 
offices too.
A bank international money order can only be cashed through a 
bank and normally there's a processing fee and a waiting period 
if cashed in a foreign country.  If it's cashed in the US, if 
it's drawn on a US bank, there isn't a problem.  If it's drawn 
on a foreign bank, then the bank fee and the waiting period 
will apply.
