You are correct about the name.

Although the kernel is a BSD derivative, HP-UX is fully compatible with
the System V Release 3 base system, and passes the corresponding SVVS
conformance test suite completely.

HP-UX also provides most of the popular BSD functionality, including job
control, high-resolution timers, Berkeley/ARPA networking, and sockets,
and it therefore has TCP/IP with a BSD socket interface.

In the U.S., you can call 800-752-0900 for more information about HP-UX.
Or, if you wish, you can post more questions here.
