What does CHU/pound/°C represent?

It is a unit of specific heat capacity indicating the heat energy in CHU needed to raise one pound of a substance by one degree Celsius.

When should I use Btu (IT)/pound/°R?

Use it for thermodynamic calculations involving temperature changes measured in degrees Rankine and mass in pounds.

Does this conversion consider differences in temperature scales?

Yes, the conversion accounts for Celsius to Rankine temperature scale differences, but slight numerical variations may still exist.
