The basic difference is, cheats gives an unfair advantage over others in the game, and either isn't originally programed, or wasn't supposed to be there. This covers all third party programs and files that accomplish this, as well as exploits within the completed levels themselves. (I.e. the big head cheat, skins that give diliberate unfair advantages, etc.)
Mods however, contain nothing of the above, and simply modify how the game is played or how it looks. This includes all .mix, .pkg files, skins and all c130 drop scripts (I include all, as they are only run server side, and if you don't like it, don't play there).
There are some skins that are controversial, such as the sniper scope mod (removing the green tint) and the bright color skins that give people away easily (ex. a floresent green deadeye). Nothing officially says they are wrong as of now (that I know of), but not using them will get you a better reception by the general public
