If I open a terminal and use the following commands, are they "run in memory"?
$ curl -s http://website.com/file.py | python - &
$ command=$(curl -s http://website.com/file.py); $(echo $command | python - &)
(I'm not sure that second example will actually work. I was just trying to come up with an example that utilized variables.)
In macOS (or any Unix system), what does it mean to run a command in memory?
Here's a Windows example. I'm trying find a Unix description or example usage of the concept.

This post (and the copy on Information Security) are the only uses of this phrase, so it seems to be one you've come up with. What does it mean? Or, where did you find it?

This question is unclear. As Michael points out, "run in memory" is not a common term. You should edit the question to provide some context, e.g., where you came across this term, what other ways do commands run other than "in memory", etc. See How to Ask.
