I am new to both MSBuild and PowerShell and am trying to wrap my head around where these stand with respect to deploying ASP.NET applications. Can someone explain the difference? (I hope I am comparing apples and apples)

You’re a little more comparing apples to oranges. 🙂
Powershell is a console tool for working in the windows environment whose goal is the eventual replacement of cmd.exe.
MSBuild is an specialized build tool designed for the building of software projects.
You can use either one to invoke an operation in the other (in various ways) but they’re really complementary tools. They’re aren’t all that similar in their core purpose.
