that's for intel macs.

it is *not* the case for powerpc macs or future apple silicon macs.

openboot is what sun called it. outside sun, it was known as open
firmware.

<https://wiki.c2.com/?OpenFirmware>
  Open Firmware is essentially a specification for a largely
  machine-independent BIOS based on the AnsForth standard 
  that is capable of probing and initializing plug-in cards that 
  have on-board IEEE-1275 compliant Fcode in their ROMs. It 
  was invented by MitchBradley to aid in debugging recalcitrant
  hardware at Sun. It is found in Sun, IBM, PowerMacintosh, and
  OneLaptopPerChild systems.

it even has a song

the mac startup manager, which was in rom and contained a substantial
amount of mac os. there was no separate bios, nor did it need it.
