AWS VPC Peering is connection between two AWS VPC networks (even between accounts) . Easy as that. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/what-is-vpc-peering.html
AWS Direct Connect is used to connect on-premise datacenter through dedicated line (you can imagine it as private internet). As far I understod AWS has separate connections to number of partner providers around their datacenters.
