Was Mythical Island a physical Pokémon booster pack?
The announcement describes Mythical Island as an expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket. It does not establish a corresponding physical trading-card booster product, so “expansion” is the precise term when referring to this release. A physical Pokémon TCG booster pack is a different product and is not identified as a way to access the Pocket expansion.
