I think it means that it's a hammock style tarp which hangs between two trees. None of the pics show an actual hammock as you said.

Just a tarp
Check out videos on tarp pitches to see what you can do if you have more tie down points. https://youtu.be/L8lw64__n8M
I recommend Free Soldier tarps if you want an inexpensive camping tarp. There are much better brands but the prices are also much higher.
You'd want to use a square tarp with more tie down points for that.
But I wouldn't say Wise Owl's hammock gear is appropriate for ultra-light thru hiking. This is because even among hammock systems, wise owl's stuff is a little on the heavier side (including the OEM stakes, as you note). But also for any hammock system by the time you've got the hammock, tarp, bugnet, underquilt, stakes, and suspension system, you aren't really saving much weight vs a comparable tent.
