as for buffet, it really is defined as being:
a meal consisting of several dishes from which guests serve themselves
so as you said 食べ放題 places are not exactly this as you are served there. the idea of going to a buffet place is when im very hungry and want to eat eat eat.. haha so 食べ放題 fits this bill nicely.

I don't remember the name. I wish I did...I'd like to go back. It was in either Shinsaibashi or Namba...
A buffet is a place where food is served in a central location, and customers serve themselves and bring their plates back to their table.
食べ放題 simply means "all you can eat", whether you serve yourself, or if a waiter or waitress brings you food. So "buffet" falls under the larger umbrella of "食べ放題 ".
