Test rules and how to send your score
Each band lists "PTE Academic / PTE Academic Online", so the online test is accepted. The page does not mention PTE Core, score validity or a Pearson code; the code it gives (7977) is for TOEFL only.
IELTS Academic or IELTS Online sits at 5.5, 6.5 and 7.0 for the same three bands, and TOEFL iBT at 72, 88 and 95 on the previous scale.

If you fall short
The page says its list is not exhaustive and that you can contact the Registrar's Office to check whether another internationally recognised English certificate is accepted. It describes no conditional admission or pre-sessional route.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your H-BRS programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
Pearson has discontinued PTE Academic Online for new bookings, so plan on a test-centre PTE Academic sitting even where this page still lists the online version. See can you take PTE at home.
