Yep, there are highland and lowland Nepenthes, as well as intermediates. The only way to really tell the difference is if you know your plant's species; something like Nepenthes hamata is considered highland, something like Nepenthes fusca would be considered intermediate, and something like Nepenthes ampullaria would be considered lowland. As for the difference, they're native to areas of different elevation. Lowlanders tend to have high temperatures in the eighties or nineties, whereas highlanders have much lower temperatures around the seventies, as well as a nightly temperature drop. Both types both require their high humidity.
And don't worry about noob questions! We've all asked them before.
So, I could keep it outside in the summer, and when it starts to cool down, I should move it to my frog room (high humidity, 74 degrees, and a little cooler at night)?
Where are you located? As logn as your temperatures are reasonable, the only thing I'd be worried about is them not being acclimated to bright sun, but in a semi-shaded area they should do fine!
