I think the distinction is between "created via Web IDL's [new](https://webidl.spec.whatwg.org/#new)" and "created via a [constructor operation](https://webidl.spec.whatwg.org/#idl-constructors)". As far as I know, specifications usually do not call constructor operations themselves, those are only called by JavaScript code. For example, ["create a `Response` object"](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#response-create) creates a new `Headers` object by setting its fields directly, rather than going through the `new Headers()` constructor.

If you have a better suggestion for making this less confusion, I'd love to hear it. I'm bad at naming things. 😅
