When Christianity had become dominant, 'pagan' was a pejorative term used by Christians to describe those who continued to worship the old gods. It implied that the non-Christians were "country hicks".
The term 'pagan' was also later used by Christians to describe the the followers of the religions that Christians found in the New World. So, paganism can mean whatever Christians want it to mean, but the term has not usually been applied to Buddhism.
