I've never seen "chords" used that way before.

Anyway, yes.

Where possible to distinguish backspace from ctl-h (in which case ctl-h
is a prefix character invoking help),

shift makes no difference
backspace is delete backward character
ctl-backspace is kill backward word
alt-backspace is kill backward word
alt-ctl-backspace is kill line

This of course may vary by emacs version/variant.  Exactly what happens
when ctl-h and backspace are the same, also varies.
