"Oni san refers to a brother in the family." It's a little more complicated than this.
The Japanese have two sets of family words- one set for your own and another, more polite set for someone else's family. This is because you are expected to be humble about yourself and deferential towards another. So:
Onii san is older brother only.
The form 'Onii san' is used when speaking about someone else's older brother.
The form 'Ani' (with no honorific) is used when speaking about your own older brother.
'Onii san' can also be used by a younger person towards an older, unrelated boy. Characters in anime, manga, games, fanfics, etc. often refer to each other this way. You should also use the polite form when speaking to your own older brother, although many use a different, more familiar honorific such a 'chan'. どうわくだ,ね?
Younger brother is:
otōto (yours)
otōto san (someone else's)
