Generally door frames are used for external doors and door linings or casings for internal doors. Door casings are supplied with an integral doorstop, whereas door linings have a 'loose' door stop that has to be fixed to the lining.

A lining has loose stops. You can fix a lining and decide which way the door opens later on.
A casing has a rebate cut into it. You need to know which way the door opens before fixing.
Both a lining and a casing are designed to be as wide as the wall thickness plus plaster finish.
A frame is usually attributed to external doors i.e. 44mm and is a chunkier and narrower section so that it only occupies part of the external masonry, allowing you to seal the frame against the masonry.
