To me it implies abstraction such as a constructor, but with no overhead compared to the same steps done in some other way.

Sure, but languages and the problems we solve with them are both multifaceted, so simply pointing to one tool and saying "this is better than the one you have in your toolbox" is fine, but the plural in "zero cost abstractions" kind of implies that most or all the tools are at parity or better.
