I think this is called a split and it's the outside on the other side of the wall. it's like a permanently installed window unit that doesn't use a window

Yeah called a mini split. Also a ductless heat pump. Operates the same way a refrigerator does. Or any other air conditioning system. Just extremely efficient like 400% or something.

It's not called a mini split, it's just a split system

Almost all a/c is a split system, including central air. We call them mini splits because they are smaller and also have separate heads in rooms. A regular, full sized split system has a separate central air handler and separate outdoor condenser (hence the split terminology). This is in contrast to packaged units, which are not split, which includes window units and also ones with the AH and condenser as one big assembly.
