I believe that a phi bond is the bond between the nitrogen and alpha-carbon in a polypeptide, and the psi bond is the bond between the carbonyl carbon and the alpha-carbon.

This refers to bonds to polypeptides. Look at the picture on the link. The phi psi and omega bonds control the conformation of a polypetide chain.
