The REG does list it under the "related cards" heading on Capture Cards, so I'd say the Orange version is one.

I have a question: For the priest's version, "owner" refers to the owner of the hero PoD is placed on, right?

Seems like a poison to me, why would it be a capture? The capture ability is due to the decrease. So the actual special ability is a decrease/poison, not a capture.

It's a poison and a capture.

The reason it is a capture is because a character is placed in a LoB. The hero became a LS, which is the definition of capture.

Yeah that is the definition of capture, but it is not the ability on the card. This seems like it would be a placed/decrease or poison. The capture ability is just the result of the decrease. I am trying to think of an example, here goes nothing...Chemosh is a set aside card yet the result of the EC being set aside is decreasing a hero, does that make it a discard/decrease card? Jerobaum searches for it because it is a set aside, but I guess it could be both.

Yes. Cards fall into the category of all abilities they hold. For example Haggai is both a Banding Hero card *AND* a Searching hero card.
