    or is it if you share a report you are effectively making them a guest account on your domain? The documentation is a little unclear to be honest and the way this worked has evolved as features have been released.

    If you have Power BI Pro, and if the user you are sharing the report with has a Power BI Pro license, then they do not need to be a guest user on your tenant.  The external user will need to have a Power BI Pro license to view the report - if they don't you will need to set them up as a guest on your O365 tenant and assign them one of your Power BI Pro licenses.  If  you have Power BI Premium, the external users do not need a Power BI license, but I am not sure if they would then have to be a guest user on your tenant.
