The kind of potential energy in a catapult is known as elastic potential energy. The potential energy that is in the catapult is used when you activate the catapult and the rock (or any kind of ammo) fires.
While it is at full stetch it contains potential energy.

The energy stored in the stretched rubber (or elastic) is converted into the kinetic energy of the missile.
Yes because in a catapult the potential energy in a stretched piece of elastic is transferred to a stone as kinetic energy. The potential energy came from the user who stretched the elastic

When a rubber band is stretched, it has potential energy. Any type of stored energy is known as potential energy.
Elastic energy, which is a type of potential energy.
That would be elastic potential energy.
In the elasticity of it being held down. It depends on which catapult mechanism, all catapults are powered by potential energy; for example the simple catapult is an elasctic band that is pulled back converting the energy used to pull it back (usually muscle power) into the potential energy in the stretched elastic band.
elastic potential energy
If the elastic band is stretched, there is elastic energy stored in it. That's a type of potential energy.
