I think that is rather different. The traditional meaning of "proofs without words" is that the picture is the proof, or at least, if you believe that a proof can only be in words, that the picture should convey the idea so transparently that anyone with reasonable mathematical skill can routinely translate it into words.

You are correct, after posting I realized the difference. The book is rather "theorems [formulated] without words".

Which is why I added that the proofs are left to the reader :P
