If a coop refinances its mortgage, does this qualify as a HELOC (home equity line of credit)?

No - A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is an additional loan on the property. If your co-op says that they refinanced the mortgage on the building, they paid off the first loan with the proceeds of the new loan, so there is still only one loan.
