So for instance your saying that a bastion from Stronghold assault
Which says, composition 1 imperial Bastion, terrain type Medium Building, isn't a model?

That is correct, it is not a Model as defined by the 40k rules, because we know that "...each model will have a unit type..."

And since a imperial Bastion does not have a unit type, it is not a Model as defined by the 40k Rules. (Even though it is a model, as in a miniature version of a larger thing, but 40k defines what a model is in the context of the rules and you need to have a unit type to be considered a model as per the 40k rules).

Or isn't a Unit because it doesn't say the word Model or unit? but says terrain type?

I have to find this amusing, not the reasons against Deepstriking a Bastion but that it's an issue given the new Space Marine powers.

It is only a unit in certain situations, such as being a claimed fortification, but it is still not a Model because it does not have a unit type.

While it is a model (in the generic, made of plastic/metal/resin to resemble something else) it is not a model in the rules sense (with a profile and unit type).

Basically what HJ said. it is not a Model as far as the rules are concerned even though it is a model in plain english
