I've seen that terminology used on US websites, it took me a while to get my head around. In Australia it would just be called ducted reverse cycle. In the vast majority of cases it would be "ducted ductless" I guess: outside unit connects via refrigerant lines to a heat exchanger and fan in the roof cavity, when then distributes the heated/cooled air to rooms via conventional ducting.

Nobody calls it that, it would just be called a ducted heat pump. The refrigerant lines just run to a central air handler where the ducts start in the house, instead of the air handlers that mount on the walls.
