If this is true, then the documentation is confusing.

The "network installer" links take you to a netboot page and from there
you choose which architechure you're using. The mini.iso file resides
inside this netboot subdirectory.

So, it's not surprising that someone might think that "network
installer" and "netboot" are the same.

To make it clear about this:
1) Go to https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
2) Click on of the "Download the network installer for (x)" links
3) This will then take you the netboot page. Ex: 19.04 link -> 
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/19.04/
4) Now, you click on the architechure you want. I'll show for amd64

You'll see a listing of files like:
[ICO]   Name    Last modified   Size
[PARENTDIR]     Parent Directory                -
[   ]   boot.img.gz     2019-04-16 08:24        55M
[   ]   ldlinux.c32     2019-04-16 08:24        113K
[   ]   mini.iso        2019-04-16 08:24        68M
[   ]   netboot.tar.gz  2019-04-16 08:24        55M
[   ]   pxelinux.0      2019-04-16 08:24        41K
[DIR]   pxelinux.cfg/   2019-04-16 08:24        -
[DIR]   ubuntu-installer/       2019-04-16 08:24        -
[DIR]   xen/    2019-04-16 08:24        -

So, again network installer -> netboot -> netboot-ARCH-subdir ->
mini.iso
