I thought it would also be used with the J1772 port...
Older and base model Leafs came with 3.3kw chargers using the J1772 port. The charger is built into the car and the charging cord is basically a fancy extension cord.
Chademo was an option that uses a completely separate plug. It (and other DC fast charger standards) has the charger built into the charging station and pumps DC power straight into the battery. This page explains the Leaf's options through the years: https://insideevs.com/used-nissan-leaf-buying-guide/
