if it has facebook and google assistant, isn't it really an (Android) smartphone which looks like a dumb phone?

It could be running KaiOS which is the 3rd most popular mobile phone OS, but not quite as functional as Android or iOS.

It was KaiOS actually, that is based on FirefoxOS.

Unfortunately they went so hard on dumbphone specs that it ran poorly, kept crashing all the time because it kept running out of ram. (it had 256mb of RAM I believe, or 128, don't remember, one of the two).

Newer Nokia/HMD dumb phones come with a Facebook app, they are not running Android.
