Sure, you can use PowerCLI with any type of vSphere server (vCenter and ESX(i)).

Unless something changed lately, the API is still restricted to read-only operations with the free Hypervisor license!? So some command may return a "fault.RestrictedVersion.summary" error message.

Where did it say that you are referring to the free ESXi version ?

AFAIK, "Hypervisor" is the way vmware calls esxi free version
