Nothing about this redefines what a flip is. A flip in this context means you use a coin to get a result of either heads or tails. The "fair" aspect means that each of the heads/tails options just occur 50% of the time.
You can stimulate a coin flip on a computer by generating random numbers and seeing whether the number is even or odd (even = heads, odd = tails). Nothing about that even comes close to an actual coin being flipped, but the result is identical, and the result is all we care about.
