Maybe it would have been clearer if they had named their "String" class 
"PrimitiveString". Then we'd have v8::PrimitiveString objects, if that 
makes sense to you :-)
They're JavaScript primitive values represented as C++ objects. Which 
has nothing to do with JS type conversions, it's just the native 
implementation.

The point that Fabrício makes is that there are no JS String wrapper 
objects, which would be represented by v8::StringObject objects wrapping 
v8::"PrimitiveString" objects, created when a property on a JS primitive 
is accessed.
(And neither are there new v8::"PrimitiveString" objects created, they 
were created by the parser at compile time)
