I thought any aircraft that the President is on is called ‘Air Force One’. Was President Trump on board during those flights?

Donald Trump wasn't president at the time, Obama was. Only Air Force aircraft are called Air Force One and only when the president is on board. When he flies on a Marine Corps helicopter, it's called Marine One. If he flies on a civilian aircraft, it's called Executive One.

When Obama was in the Oval Office with Reggie it was called Hot Room One.

EXCERPT Pelosi racked up huge bills using tax dollars to fly family members, free, in the US Govt's Air Force One plane.

The USAF records reveal a number of trips made by Pelosi in 2010 obtained by J/W in July 2011, detailing:
<><> expense summaries,
<><>flight manifests,
<><> copies of receipts, and
<><> Congressional correspondence.

Documents obtained by J/W in January 2019, show that a 2015 trip taken by Pelosi cost taxpayers a whopping $184,587.81. The documents obtained in 2011 include:
<><> A May 6-10, 2010, Congressional Delegation to Afghanistan and Germany “to discuss issues of mutual interest in Qatar and Afghanistan, <> conduct oversight on women’s issues (troops) in Afghanistan
<><> to visit with US troops
<><> meet with government officials in Germany.”

The total cost of military travel was $204,135.00.

The records indicate then-Speaker Pelosi made a personal request that the “maximum per diem allowance be made available at the enhanced rate of an additional $50.”
