The air is blown out aft, but the jet is blown adjacent to a curved surface and tends to stick to it. This entrains the flow over the wing and creates a change in lift distribution just like a normal aileron.
The thrust vectoring is similar but slightly different, again the blown air is used to change an existing airflow.
