"Post" generally refers to what audio (although film/video has a "post" stage as well) go thru after the initial production (on location & stage) filming for TV / Films. It covers a broad range of diciplines. Some aspects of Audio Post would entail:

Dialog Editing & cleanup
SFX design & cutting
Foley
ADR (Dialog replacement)
Music Scoring & Mixing
Music Editing
Dubbing (mixing the entire soundtrack - music, fx, dialog, foley, etc. in a theater sized studio.)

All (mostly) done in syncronization to picture. And it all gets really interesting as it goes back and forth between film and video and the syncronization anomolies that that process incurs.

I guess that you could say that all audio other than what is raw recorded as the actors "act" falls under the broad definition of audio post.
