> I don't think they can be called VSTs

They aren't VSTs but that's my point. A "Reaper plugin" to the community usually means a JSFX plugin.

Playtime is a VST plugin, not a JSFX plugin, but it also relies on Reaper specific API calls making it incompatible with other DAWs that support VST.

It matters because you'll find it in the VST section of your Reaper plugin list and I believe Steinberg also requires you to use the VST branding on any plugins using the VST SDK

VST isn't an open plugin format and it doesn't guarantee compatibility across all hosts. It's a source-available format owned by Steinberg who grants financial free use of it (but not free use in the FOSS sense)
