I've never seen a stud threaded into a hub. I do own car with lug bolts though. Very odd choice considering it requires extra machine processes required to manufacture that. It would be interesting to know why they felt the need to do it that way.
It's as you described. For some reason, studs are called bolts at this company. So a bolt press is a stud press. The design change went from a hub with threaded holes for lug bolts, to a hub with pressed studs. There were some other design changes as well but that was the main one.
