They aren't really using VR headsets, right? The FPV goggles I know are just a screen showing the camera image without any virtual reality.

Basically its just screen yes. It's just convenient and more portable to do it this way. Small desktop screen also exist and are used to peek on what the FPV operator is seeing.
