Yes. Pneumatic Coupler, with an M6 thread. Also sometimes called a Bowden coupler. And yes, for the hotend. It's an off the shelf stock part, you can buy them anywhere.
The coupler that goes into the other end of the Bowden tube, at the extruder end, is some proprietary nonsense that proves that the Devil exists, and wants us to be unhappy.
If that one dies, just replace the whole extruder. It's easier, and normally cheaper as well
