It was when Quasar first encountered the Dimension of Manifestations and Anthromorpho was explaining it all to him.
yes that is the strict sense defintion of abstract, but we also use it to denote a power level. a universal reality warper like legion (who is above Galactus) isnt an abstract stricto sensu, but he is in the high abstract power tier. Galactus and the celestials are lower level abstracts. they are specifically refered to as such in the Thanos Imperative.
G is a trascendent energy being, and therefore 'physical' but so is the phoenix and and even eternity and infinity who are time and space themselves can be said to be physical in a sense.
