They use "Cherry steam" as a way to describe the stem, but only really generic, $20 amazon keyboards ever use the word Cherry unless they actually have Cherry switches. A lot of newer, more boutique boards don't use Cherry, there are a lot of new and interesting Cherry stem switches not made by them.

Pretty much no way a $20 keyboard can have Cherry switches. Even the highest volume (MX Black) are ~30 cents at quantity, so a full set of keys for a keyboard already comes in at ~30 EUR.
