These companies actually have a range of devices and they just download your app on their devices. It's basically creating "fake users" for your app and each user counts as a download.
The idea is the fake users download the app, get you higher in the app store rankings, where real users will then see your app and may proceed to download it.
It could be said that this is "cheating the system" but that's opinionated so I'm not going to add to this, I will leave that for you to decide.
Hope it helps and if you have any further questions, let me know and I'd be happy to help :)
