So an MS SQL "server" = an Oracle "instance"
An MS SQL "database" = (roughly speaking) an Oracle "schema".
An MS SQL "file set" = (roughly speaking) an Oracle "tablespace".
and data files are data files.
Is that correct?
What would be the point of installing two SQL Server "servers" on the same
box? Similar to setting up 2 or more instances on one host?

An Oracle instance does not correlate to a SQL Server database.
An Oracle instance is a running Oracle server, i.e., a set of
background processes and a System Global Area in memory. It is what
permits applications to _access_ the database. The database is on
disk, the instance in memory.
An Oracle _schema_ is analogous to a SQL Server database.
(BTW, what does "v/r" mean?)
