A hackerspace is community oriented, not physical space oriented.

Technically they are all the same. Hack and Make are interchangeable since you can hack some new firmware onto an old wifi router to make something new, for example. Also a fablab is usually describing a place with the tools and materials necessary to build something from scratch such as PCBs and parts for a new thing. Of the two hackerspaces I've been a member of they both had the means to create PCBs and build new parts, frames, housings, mounts, etc. in a section of the building usually referred to as the Fab Lab. 3D printers and CNC mills are usually present in these spaces. If you had a hackerspace that was 100% fab lab then you could just call it a fablab but I bet there would still be other tools and things around to still call it a hacker/makerspace.

But I still don't understand the difference between a hackerspace and a fablab, and why is there the need for both. What does the fablab cover that a hackerspace doesn't? I want to understand

The difference is bullshit branding. That’s it.
