Ferrites encompass a large body of magnetic materials. Does this photo (slide 6) show a slab of ferrite magnet? - probably. The long thin hat pin is magnetized and the plastic tube keeps the long hat pin magnet from flipping and is thus able to levitate. I don't see anything mysterious here. It is just showing that the ferrite slab is permanently magnetized.
However, if a permanent magnet is used as a transformer core, I am not sure what the result would be. It would certainly be nonlinear. In a passive device reciprocity is not guaranteed if a DC magnetic field is present.
