Volatile and non-volatile memory does refer to computers. An example of volatile memory is RAM. Examples of non-volatile memory include floppies, hard drives, tapes, etc. Heck, I think that lesson was from my first ever computer science class (back when we still used floppies). It's just that "memory" is often used colloquially to refer to volatile or random access memory nowadays.
Mind, I seem to recall RAM also referred to as primary storage and NVM secondary storage in the above-mentioned class.
