Lets assume both clients are in the same SSID and in the same Subnet, which sounds like is the case here, then traffic is directly exchanged via intra-BSS relay on that mesh AP.
No routing necessary.
Everything outside that SSID/Subnet will be send to the router.
The setting to disabled this is usually called "client isolation". I also assume this is unchecked.
