That songs once were sung by a soloist and that the chorus joined the soloist on the refrain is the reason why a refrain and a chorus at one time were considered the same.
Specifically, this consideration draws on traditions set down and practiced in music. But as with all traditions, the mold can be continued, changed, broken or even ended. Such possibilities all are being tried among the innovative musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries.

What is a 'verse' in a song?
You are asking about form in music. One of the many classic structures of poetry and song is verse with refrain. In a song the refrain, the part that is repeated after each verse, is called the chorus. Hence the verse is often sung by a soloist and the chorus by a group. A poem or song can have many verses, but the refrain or chorus is the same. In the Broadway musical of the era 1920 to 1960, it was common for a single verse to lead into the chorus, and that was it. The solo verse was soon forgotten and the chorus became the song that everyone knew. That may be why you are not familiar with the idea of a vese in a song.

What is verse refrain in music?
Verse Typically, the section of music that introduces a new set of lyrics with each statement of the verse melody. In popular music the verse is less dynamic than the refrain. Refrain "To repeat." Typically, the section of music that repeats both the refrain melody and lyrics without change. In popular music the refrain is more dynamic than the verse. Also called the Chorus. Lyric Structure The refrain usually follows the first and maybe second verse of the song, and sort of sums up or clarifies what has already been stated in the song so far. An example is: It's been a hard day's night..... refrain is : when I'm home everything seems to be right, when I'm home feeling you holding me tight... then back to the verse, It's been a hard day's night. So the feeling is, it's been hard, but at night it's alright, showing the contrast between the day and night.

What does arbitrary refrain mean?
In music, a refrain is an interlude that is neither the chorus nor a verse, like a bridge. 'Arbitrary' means that it does not relate to anything previous. I assume you're referring to the Bud advert here, where the band slow the chorus down and use only percussion instruments after the beardy guy tells them to 'throw in an arbtrary refrain' ? Whilst not being entirely arbitrary, it is indeed a refrain.
