Yes indeed, they are transitions, between the subway on one side and the GLR on the other side. The subway square, which is placed on the center tile of the transition, is where the subway tunnel is connected on the subway side.
In that sense, these transitions switch subway traffic to GLR traffic, and vice-versa, without any loss or gain. They do not constitute any bottleneck, their limitation is that of the subway tunnels, which can carry a maximum of 65535 subway users.
So they are not 'stations'; a typical subway station has one or more staircases, that represent the ability to switch between pedestrian traffic and subway traffic. RTMT also includes more complex stations such as, for example, combined subway+bus stations, where there is also switching between bus traffic and subway traffic, etc.
