One definition is that a random vector is said to be kvariate normally distributed if every linear combination of its k components has a univariate normal distribution. In electronics and signal processing, a gaussian filter is a filter whose impulse response is a gaussian function or an approximation to it, since a true gaussian response is physically unrealizable. Gaussian filter is based on gaussian distribution which is nonzero everywhere and requires large convolution kernel.

Whenever plotting gaussian distributions is mentioned, it is usually in regard to the univariate normal, and that is basically a 2d gaussian distribution method that samples from a range array over the xaxis, then applies the gaussian function to it, and produces the yaxis coordinates for the plot.
