It has an intake tube about the size of a crayon extending straight down where it sits between the ECU cover and the air pump.
That is why it is called a barometric pressure sensor.
Why Mazda corporate would call it a boost sensor is beyond me. It isn't listed as such anywhere in the published literature.
