AIR apps are indeed desktop apps. But most AIR apps also need back-end integration (to get to data, send e-mail, authenticate logins ... everything CF is used for). And ColdFusion can indeed be the back-end for an AIR app, allowing communication via Web Services, Flash Remoting, as well as via Data Services.
