If it didn't do a reentry, how did it get down from that altitude?

By landing?

Reentry doesn't mean flying downwards it means actually coming in at a high enough speed to generate heating. Otherwise it's just falling.

I'm pretty sure any reentry from orbit is going to involve high enough speeds to generate heating.
