Deploying contract from within a contract. (is it really "Deploying" ? )

[EdwinFairchild]

I think I am a little confused on the terminology used in Video 3 Deploying a contract from a contract
When we create a new contract object
simpleStorage = new SimpleStorage();
He says we are "deploying".
If so, where is the transaction has for that new contract that was deployed?
Is it really deploying or does he mean instantiating?
Is it really as simple as instantiating and object and the deploys the contract on a real network?
What If I just want to talk to the contract, I need to insatiate it but let's say it has already been deployed, I don't want to make copies of it and redeploy it.

That or deployed has been misused or misunderstood by me.

Hello @EdwinFairchild, This simpleStorage = new SimpleStorage(); actually deploys a new SimpleStorage contract to the network. If you say it is instantiating a SimpleStorage contract, that is technically correct, I think. When you want to interact with an already deployed contract, you get the address where the contract was deployed to, and then you wrap that address with an interface, which is actually you creating a contract object from the address and interface that is not a deployment of a new contract. Please ask questions if anything is confusing.
