Is this wok nonstick?
I bought was what I thought was a carbon steel wok, but after realizing that it's black color means it isn't a "classic" carbon steel wok, I am trying to find out what it is made out of :)

I am pretty sure that it is this product, which says it is a black oxide coating: www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Fry-Pan-Chinese-Wok_254864972.html
Does this just mean it is preseasoned or is it possible this is Teflon/Xylan or something like that? Anyway to tell if it has a coating or not?

I have a similar wok, I bought at Target. It was described as "seasoned". I thought I was buying a genuinely seasoned wok.

Nope. It was a black coating just like the one you linked to.

It's a non-stick coating. It worked well for a few meals, then it started to peel.

I used a plastic scrubby to clean the sauce that stuck to the pan, and it cut through the coating. From now on, I will not buy anything from Target. Lie to me one, and you are done.

I paid for it a few years ago. would buy a genuinely seasoned wok back then.
