www.surutto.com is official web of KTP.
www.arukumachikyoto.jp is Kyoto travel direction guide web.
Especially confused Kyoto bus(covered) or Kyoto city bus(not covered).

No, JR bus (which goes to Takao from Kyoto station) is not covered. Instead, you can use Kyoto City (municipal) bus from KArasuma-Shijo or Kyoto bus from Arashiyama.

Especially confused Kyoto bus(covered) or Kyoto city bus(not covered).

This is not true. If you look the KTP pdf, you will find it states:

Trains and buses that accept the PASS
KYOTO MUNICIPAL SUBWAY/BUS
京都市営地下鉄・バス

Therefore both Kyoto city bus and Kyoto bus are covered.
