My instincts here seem similar to John's. I don't think of painting on RAM in Java. Direct RAM buffers are an outmoded concept that we don't use any more. If I was using a system that did offer the old graphics modes for some reason, I would think of that as painting on RAM. Java not so much.

In AWT you might call it the canvas. AWT actually does call it a Canvas: <http://download.java.net/jdk7/archive/b123/docs/api/java/awt/Canvas.html> In Swing I would probably think of this as painting on an Image (specifically a BufferedImage), but John is also correct here that a BufferedImage has-a Graphics context that is used to do the painting: <http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/images/drawonimage.html>
