In a mesh system, each AP is connected to the central router through the other APs, so traffic has to hop from node to node; moreover, the system reconfigures the routes automatically, as nodes move around, or enter and leave the mesh.
If all your APs are connected to the centrar router through an ethernet cable, then you do not have a mesh. However, some vendors use the term mesh to refer to APs that support some extra functionality, like coordination or fast transition.
