CDK generates cloudformation stacks. Those stacks are deployed as units, within AWS itself. AWS treats all the resources as part of that stack etc; it's a concept entirely proper to AWS.
Terraform can create cloudformation stacks as well, you just have to write the resources for it. It doesn't really make sense to do that. I also don't know that it's … "faster" in any way; cfn is really slow.
