Actually it's not hooking. Hooking is a technique. *_activate and *_deactivate are functions which are executed by other functions directly.

I think it is a matter of opinion.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's the way it is.
In PHP, direct hooking is not allowed / available. You must create your own hooking system like MyBB did.
In C/C++ you don't need a hooking system in order to do it.
Here's an example of Direct3D hooking:

*_activate, *_deactivate, *_info are functions which are executed by other functions

They are hooks for mybb to know what to run when you click the activate link.

No..those functions are not run as hooks.

if(function_exists("{$codename}_activate"))
{
	call_user_func("{$codename}_activate");
}
