Ok, so a flashback is such a commonly used mechanism that I'm having a hard time describing it in simple terms. But basically, a flashback is a scene that happens in the past. We cut from the present and spend some time showing what happened in the past and then continue in the present.

The scene in The Coming Storm didn't have any such element, it all happened in the same time. She saw Adam for a second but he was a figment of her imagination. It was in the present. That is a hallucination.

If Yang had been in the village before in the snow and saw Adam creeping on her from the forest in the past and we saw that, that would be a flashback.
