Eroges = VNs that focus on romance, and include at least one sex scene per route.
Nukige = This is basically porn, yes.
All Nukiges are Eroges, but not all Eroges are Nukiges.
All Eroges are VNs, but not all VNs (though most, it seems) are Eroges.

Quite close I'd say. Eroges are just games that have 18+ contents in it. It's usually your bread and butter VNs, but occasionally they have a bit of other gameplay as well.
Nukige ('extraction' game, if you know what I mean) is a subset or genre of an eroge. There are various other genres like Nakige (crying game) or Moege (moe game).
