PLD means Programmable Logic Device.
ASIC = Application Specific Integrated Circuit.
PLD is relatevly simple logic device, that can be programed to implement some logic function. In general this logic function is combination of AND and OR.
ASIC is a chip designed for a particular application (as opposed to the integrated circuits that control functions such as RAM in a PC). ASICs are built by connecting existing circuit building blocks in new ways. Since the building blocks already exist in a library, it is much easier to produce a new ASIC than to design a new chip from scratch.

Yes it is in this way.

This often is called Standard Cell device.
>produce a new ASIC than to design a new chip from scratch.
This often is called FULL CUSTOM device.
