My partner said that he bought the name (fictitious) coolname.com and he then coded it to my site (fictitious) mysite.com/blog and it would not cause me problems.

Is this true?

I can now type in "coolname.com" and go to mysite.com/blog and the metadata is displayed as well.

He said he used:
Frame redirect

Is this cloaking?

I have been getting great placement and don't want to loose that.

Frame redirects are a bad way of doing it. He should use a .htaccess method or, as I would, have a single index.php in the site root and redirect using that.
e.g.
<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 303 See Other");
header("Location: http://mysite.com/blog");
?>
This gives a meaningful HTTP header.
