It is the tube shape at the very front of the motorcycle frame through which the front fork yoke stem (spindle) is attached to the main frame of the motorcycle. The "headstock" houses the bearing races and ball (or roller) bearings on which the front fork assembly rotates. It is usually a welded on piece, though on some bikes it may be a formed piece of metal integral with the main frame section. The yokes that hold the fork tubes are supported by the "headstock", the upper yoke usually also attaching the handle bars. The "headstock" can also be called the steering head.

What is rake and trail on a motorcycle?
Rake can be described as an angle at which the headstock of the motorcycle is inclined when compared against a vertical line drawn perpendicular to the ground. Trail is the distance on the ground between a straight line drawn through the center of the front wheel spindle and a line drawn through the center of the headstock axis.

No, not all headstocks have to have the same shape. A fender headstock is quite different than a les paul or a flying V headstock, some even have no head at all. Yes it would be possible to have a headstock shaped like devil horns
Can a guitar have a flat non angled headstock?
Yes, the headstock can be flat, but it can't be flat and in the same plane as the fretboard - there would be no way to put pressure on the strings at the nut. Most Fender electrics have a flat headstock, but in a lower plane than the fretboard.
