Just bad terminology, either through poor translation or lack of understanding.

The proper names are "Access point" mode, as normally used by WiFi routers and dedicated APs,
And "Client" mode, as normally used by portable devices.

Many WiFi devices can work in either mode, plus there is "Ad-hoc" mode where devices connect together as peers.
