What does one calorie (IT) per minute represent?

It is a power unit quantifying the rate of energy transfer equal to one international-table calorie of energy transferred each minute.

Are all calorie definitions the same in this conversion?

No, this conversion assumes the International-Table calorie definition; other calorie variations are not considered.
