Those are regular buttons, identical to the ones on the right Joy-Con. They aren't the traditional Nintendo D-Pad.

That isn't a d-pad. That is 4 buttons in each direction. It would be impossible to play a fighting game like street fighter on that.

Wouldn't that make it so that the PSP doesn't have a d-pad either?

The PSP used the same D-Pad as all PlayStation hardware. A "separated" cross. PS D-Pad aren't idividual buttons. They're tied together like any other traditional D-Pad. It's only on the surface of the controllers/handgeld that they look like they're idividual buttons.
