I think your problem is thinking it's an "increment/decrement field".
The "for" statement simply takes three expressions[1], all of which are
optional. The first is evaluated before the first time through, and the
result discarded; the second is evaluated at the start of each time through,
and if non-zero, the loop is executed; and the third is evaluated at the end
of each time through, with its result being discarded.
While the third expression is typically used to increment/decrement values,
there is no restriction on what the expression can do.
Note, too, that, since all three parts are optional, an omitted "second
expression" is treated as "always true".
[1] Note that the first "expression" can also be a declaration, as in:
for ( int i=0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
