Can a single file (LB+payload) be considered a volume of storage or a distribution medium? I suppose so.
I would assume, since the invention of tar files (Tape ARchive), dd, loopback filesystems and Virtualization: Yes, we should explicitly consider a single file a medium.
The file is just an image of the FLASH ROM storage medium. It has no use outside of that scope.
