its a telnet but you need to activate it first. often backdoors are simple shells like telnet or such services. but it usually requires some 'magic packets' or such things to open the port to it or start the service. if you look at the POC you see it's not simply making a telnet connection to a port, but it does some other stuff first to prepare for it.
