RGB is what your DSLR takes as it has red, green and blue filters over the top of the sensor inside your camera.
It can also be individual red, green and blue filters that would be in a filter wheel.

A luminance filter is pretty much clear and allows the RGB light through but blocks the UV and IR. So luminance is used to pick up detail or to quickly detect fainter galaxies.
