There's no air involved. It's a completely enclosed system. Unless you count the cool/heat of the floors/ceilings affecting the air...

That seems likely normally not viable in most warm places because the humidity would quickly rot out the floors. Part of the ‘conditioning’ in the name is that quite a lot of water will ideally get removed from the air to control humidity too, and that needs to be drained away

So it's actually a hydronic heating/cooling system? I don't think those systems are typically referred to as heat pumps generally.
