I am from a country that has little to no snow, so no need for snow tyres. The putting on of chains doesn’t really make sense to me. Also, are there such things as actual snow tyres or does the term snow tyres just refer to putting the chains on?

Not sure about chains – but yes there are tires specifically designed for snow. The rubber used is a softer compound, so it maintains grip/traction at very low temperatures. As it warms up, you need to put all season tires back on, or you will wear-out your snow tires much faster by using them during the summer months.
