Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the case of isekai stuff like that, isn't it usually the protagonist becoming a fictional character from a novel or something? So it's not really the same thing if they're being transported into a book and then becoming a character in a book. It's not like they're swapping with an actual living person or something.

It really depends on the thing they isekai into. In some, it's really just that- a world with NPCs or flat novel characters that don't seem to have much life of their own.
In a lot of cases though, it's implied or outright stated that while the protagonist knows they world they transmigrate into as a book or game, it's actually an existing world/realm and the world the protagonist comes from is just an additional world existing parallel to it (multiverse style-ish).
However, my reference is Chinese transmigration novels more than, say, Japanese novels or manga, and I don't much read game-transmigrations, so there are probably big differences depending on trend and genre.

that's one type of isekai, but not all isekai are that one sub-genre. isekai is just "another world," which could be a real world, a video game that feels real, a fictional world that is real, an alternate universe, etc.

I'm not a frequent enough consumer to have even encountered the type OP is talking about (excepting Quantum Leap I guess) and while I'm familiar with the type you're talking about, I don't read/watch those because meh. My favorite type is being transported to another world or time period, just that, no bells no whistles just a portal to somewhere else.

That is technically correct, the best kind of correct, but since the genre started fans with sloppy language and little real world exposure have expanded it to mean all sort of portal and hidden fantasy works. By the current standards, even Narnia would be considered Isekai; and that is why everyone still hates anime fans.

Yeah, no, it's technically incorrect. Does the term get used for genres it's not applicable to? Yes. Does it mean that there is only one single type of isekai and it's the one ayrt talks about? Absolutely not.
