Show a computer or a cellphone to someone from about a hundred years ago and they'll call it magic. Doesn't mean it is magic. Similarly, Psychokinetic abilities like telekinesis or pyrokinesis aren't synonymous with magic, despite the fact that the only significant differences between the two tend to be their settings and explanations. Nor are the superpowers of most comicbook superheroes. Hell, even the more detailed examples of magic that are still called magic in their own series are more akin to a science based around an energy that the human body could harness on its own than the traditional concept of magic.

And, even if they have yet to be explained to us, the viewers, this is after a mere sixteen episodes that average less than ten minutes each. Even in long-running anime series that devote a lot of time ito explaining things, it can take ten to twenty episodes of twenty minutes each, or just under seven hours, to do so. And, not only is that being on the generous side, but it is on top of plot, story, and character development. Moreover, many simply choose to release supplementary materials containing the information in question, often in what are known as "databooks". Novels and manga have the advantage of being able to put such information on pages at the back, or readers expecting to have that information dumped, and Movies tend to divulge little time towards explanations, instead relying on willing suspension of disbelief to stay afloat.

Volume 1 is more or less the series' pilot arc, which introduces the basics of the setting and the foundations of the main cast and overall plot. Volume 2 seems like it's going to go into explaining, at the very least, aura and semblance, via the Vytal tournament. Dust is more likely to have the bulk of its information spread across various Volumes, but an introductory explanation in the early Volumes is quite likely.

Also, Maki, it's "Suffiicently advanced technology", not "Superficially advanced technology".
