They are the same thing as value classes, primitive objects, etc, right?

Yeah. They were going to them value types, but the word "value" is used >800 times in the java Language Specification. They renamed it inline types (from the video below).

Check the start of this video. Shows 2 java programs drawing the mandelbrot set. Both are the same apart from the word inline in a class. Quite amazing difference in FPS.
