Like any other word or phrase, 'open' or 'open API' is going to have a meaning based on the context in which it is used. Open has a certain marketing cachet that generally says anyone can use it and they can use it just about everywhere (usually for free or at nominal cost). To give it meaning, you must further qualify it by what it does. That gives it context. Without context it's just hype.
