Greetings

A 10/22 bull barrel is a non-tapered barrel .920 in diameter, usually about 20" long. They can be made of carbon fiber with a steel core, stainless or blued carbon steel. Some are fluted, that is they have wide grooves running lengthwise to increase surface area and the dissapation of heat while shooting.

Regards.

so is the .920 diameter the defining factor?

Yes.

Yes.

Although exact diameters vary a little bit. Also, a bull barrel is never tapered. It is like a long cylinder.
