Yes, precisely. I always find 'office hours' a bit confusing in the same sense, when not used by a professor : whose office is it? and that feels less collaborative and more query-response than an open meeting. The reason for asking for community moderators and note-takers is to emphasize that this is an open meeting, with the agenda defined by the participants. Please feel welcome to change the language on the Wikimedia meetings page.
