That’s wrong or at least not normally how the term “time zone” is used. We would typically say that Sweden is in one time zone whose offset changes twice a year.
so CEST is what?

An offset from UTC.
Wikipedia calls it "the standard clock time observed during the period of summer daylight-saving in those European countries which observe Central European Time (CET; UTC+01:00) during the other part of the year."
Note the word "zone" does not appear in the above.

Based on a quick skim, CEST is a "time" not a "time zone".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_Summer_Time
CEST will always be +2 UTC (unless something really changes politically).
DST just marks that Sweden changes from CEST to CET from October to May.
