The term "USB dongle" refers to Bluetooth devices connected per USB, like "Bluetooth sticks for USB". In case your laptop has builtin Bluetooth, it's usually represented to the system as an "internal USB component", comparable to SD card readers or touchpads / trackpoints which identify themselves as USB components even though they are connected internally. So from the technical side, it doesn't matter if the BT device is internal or external, as it is clearly identified as a USB component.
