Yes, they are. Float is a CSS property that determines where an object is displayed within another object. Make your browser window narrower when a look at your example pages, and notice how the text repositions itself around the Page Contents box, how the box appears to float within the div holding the text, while keeping to the right side. This makes a kind of flexible page layout possible, in contrast to the fixed positioning you get with regular HTML.
