For any mundane state, the Buddha used 'dhamma language'.

As the pure abodes and heavens are mundane states, there can be both the conventional meaning & dhammic meaning.

Heavenly state can be any blissful jhana or a world after death of many eons of bliss.

Pure abode can be a place non-returners go after death to finish the path or the fourth jhana.
