You guess right. HOF-1234yf, aka R-1234, aka 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene, is not a common hydrocarbon like propane, but it does have similar properties in terms of suitability as a refrigerant and mild inflammability. Supposedly it is a drop-in replacement for R-134a. (I seem to recall R-134a being advocated as a drop-in replacement for R-12, and we know how well that worked out...)
