The term iodized (said usually about table salt) means that an iodine compound has been added. This is usually sodium iodide or potassium iodide, meaning the combination of sodium (or potassium) and iodine into an ionic compound.

Are iodide and iodine the same thing?

I'm not sure quite what you're trying to ask, because table salt generally is iodized salt. In any event, salt is iodized not for any reason to do with cooking or baking, but because of people's nutritional needs. That means you can substitute sea salt, iodized salt, non iodized salt, etc. all for each other in both cooking and baking. You probably get plenty of iodized salt through processed and canned goods, fast food, etc. so don't worry on that score.
