pointers are essentially on the same level as floats and symbols. Together they are the three main atom types of Pd and have corresponding reserved selectors and all assumed to have one argument.
Yes, that's true, I didn't want to make it more complicated than needed for a simple explanation. It's important to note that one can build a list-message not only with numbers and words (or floats and symbols) as I wrote simplifyingly (is that a word?) but additionally also with pointers as list elements:
[pack float pointer]
would create such a list. This can be handy sometimes.
