  Those are vector functions (because they can be used where a vector is
expected). They are not object functions because they can't be used
where an object is expected (there are no such functions in POV-Ray).

  You can call them "functions for getting information about an object",
but don't mix up type terminology with this. That would only cause
confusion.
