Yup, those are pronouns. The usual phrase to describe the situation you mention is 'referring to themselves in the third person". That is, as you said, using 'he' or 'she' instead of 'I'.

I'm an English teacher. They are pronouns and, more specifically, personal pronouns.

These are pronouns, or you can autistic people sometimes refer to themselves in the "third-person"

I believe they are pronouns. So one of the signs of autism is they do not use personal prounouns wen referring to themselves.

Pronouns, because they take the place of a noun.

2nd and 3rd person pronouns. They take the place of the name of a person. "You" is the 2nd person pronoun; the rest are 3rd.
