In that context, money looks to me like an instrumental value common to many goals but not a terminal goal in its own right: beyond the point of financial stability, money can’t be expected to carry much intrinsic utility if it remains unused. Same goes for most of the rest of the things you list.
Relaxation’s an exception, though; I can’t think of any supergoals that “lack of stress” could serve, unless you count values as vague as “happiness”.
I don’t think this is the same distinction. Instrumental vs. terminal is not specific to humans, but this seems to be about how different types of motivation affect human psychology. Goals seem to correspond to far mode motivation, abstractly causing something to be planned for in the long term, while rewards are near-mode; they are explicitly caused by certain actions and motivate immediate action. Rewards also seem to be the kind of thing that behavioral psychology describes, and that can be harnessed using the techniques in http://lesswrong.com/lw/2dg/applying_behavioral_psychology_on_myself/ .
A lot of this seems to be driven by the terminal goals/instrumental values divide, albeit with different framing.
