If you were to download the corresponding WordPress.com theme then stick the style.css file for the "child theme" into a folder, it would be a child theme. You could activate it via the WordPress admin panel. I would technically consider them child themes.

The domain registrar should behave the same regardless of where you point your domain at it, so it seems a moot point in relation to this article anyway.

WordPress child themes override the parent theme's style.css with their own. Therefore, to make a child theme compatible with self-hosted and WordPress.com themes, it would need to be compatible with the "Start from scratch and just use this" option in WordPress.com's Edit CSS page.Maybe yours works like this, but it's not clearly indicated in its page.

I wouldn't call these "Child Themes", though, since that's not what they really are. I think that the brand new TwentyTen provides an awesome basis for Custom CSS magic.
