Is this flex or a button? The name active makes it sound like a button the drivers can press?

DRS is being replaced by two systems:

Push-to-pass hybrid boost
X-Mode, where drivers can open front and rear flaps to boost straight line speed.

Isn't this just a double DRS then?

Mostly, but everyone will be able to use it so the car being chased will also have the new DRS. I don’t think they’ve announced if there will be track sections where it’s allowed / not allowed.
