Thank you the clarification!
So, that's what endpoint-type is used for… Sounds obvious once you know it.
I think it would work better if spelled out accordingly in nova help with something like:

--endpoint-type <endpoint-type>
                        Defaults to env[NOVA_ENDPOINT_TYPE]
			Allowed values are:   "publicURL" (default), "internalURL" and "adminURL"

--bypass-url <bypass-url>
                        Use this API endpoint instead of the Service Catalog's default endpoint URLs
