Read the pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.17764.pdf they call it 1-bit everywhere.

I don't know why do they do this, 1-bit seems to be a very wrong name for {-1, 0, 1}.

I think 0 "doesn't count", since you don't have to add or subtract anything for it, just mask it out.

Yes Technically, but it is catchy for the masses. 1-bit seems to get the idea across, even if not technically describing {-1,0,1}.
