I'm confused by "8 pages minimum inside that is used double-sided"

Does that mean 8 pages inside? What is to be "used double-sided"?

From my book binding experience I've learned that when you make a hand made book each piece of paper is folded in half so it then equals 2 pages and if used double sided would be 4 numbered pages.

So it seams the requirement here is for the zine to be made of 4 pieces of paper, when folded in half 8 pages are made and then each page is to be used double sided to equal 16 numbered pages.

Is this correct?

OR....with the Folded-Single-Sheet method there are only 8 numbered pages - usually called panels in this method.

Is this okay?
