It is a somewhat abusive use of the term but not unjustified. The first step is the voronoi subdivision of an encompassing volume. In the second step, I repeat the same process with each Voronoi cell serving as the encompassing value. And then again with each new subcell, and again,.... This is a typical process to approach fractal detail, hence the name. Remark: this kind of iterative subdivision is not the same as just doing a subdivision with more points. Each level division imposes structural limits to the deeper cells, creating a kind of superstructure. Good point. It is a somewhat abusive use of the term but not unjustified.
