I think term teleportation is still valid because they can entangle and teleport any kind of particles. Photons are merely used because of their convenience.

You can entagled protons, electorns. Hell, I think they managed to demonstrate entanglement on a larger scale.

It seems to me like no particles are being teleported, becuse no matter is being moved. It's just information (i.e, the state of a particle) that is being duplicated in the same kind of particle on the other end.
