I believe "leather appointed" means that parts of it are leather. I would assume that the sections that actually touch you when you are seated are leather (excluding the fake suede), and all other parts are not, like the sides of the seats. Also, the parts designed to tear for airbag deployment might not be leather, either.
Most automotive leather is "pigmented leather" which has a polymer coating for color and durability. Maybe the pores are cover by that.
