Laser seeker, not IR, but that is correct.
The MK-82 part of it is just the 500-pound bomb. When you bolt a guidance package to it, it becomes a GBU-something (Guided Bomb Unit, I think) From the description of the event, I don't think it was pre-planned to use both types of weapon, but that was quite smart - in case the GPS coords were wrong OR if the laser package didn't guide properly.
