Not quite sure what you're asking here. In bold, on the page you mentioned is:
"NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, all units of distance are kilometers and points are in degrees of latitude,longitude." Asking "default distance for point type" is meaningless, it's a lat/lon coordinate for a spot on the earth's surface. Distance _between_ two points is kilometers, as is, say, the radius with a point at its center.
