Well, the documentation is technically precise. I'd even managed to forget that buffer objects existed in Python2 :)
As you observed, in Python3 a buffer is something that implements the buffer protocol. What I would do is link the word 'buffer' to http://docs.python.org/3/c-api/buffer.html. Perhaps mentioning bytes and bytearray as examples of read-only and writeable buffers would be worthwhile, but they are mentioned in the first paragraph of that section so it may not be necessary.
