A temporary table can have 3 kinds, the # is the most used. This is a temp table that only exists in the current session.
An equivalent of this is @, a declared table variable. This has a little less "functions" (like indexes etc) and is also only used for the current session.
The ## is one that is the same as the #, however, the scope is wider, so you can use it within the same session, within other stored procedures.
You can create a temp table in various ways:
declare @table table (id int)
create table #table (id int)
create table ##table (id int)
select * into #table from xyz
