Thank you for your time and clarification. 
Does PITR recreate database internally ?  can i say it is not the same as pg_restore  or it is same as pg_restore plus applying WAL on top of it.  I am asking because can we revern DDL operations without PITR in streaming replication

PostgreSQL doesn’t have a concept of “revert”.

PITR just deals with raw bytes on disk for an entire cluster.  If a new file appears in the WAL that file is created.  That file can be a directory for a database.

You cannot mix physical and logical images of the database so applying WAL on top of pg_restore is technically invalid - but it does effective convey the idea.  It’s like saying pg_dump and pg_basebackup are similar.  Sure, in some ways that is true - but the logical vs. physical distinction cannot be ignored fully.
