“Referenced” simply means the surface is in Rhino and was saved in a Surface parameter in Grasshopper. You can’t reference a surface that is only in Grasshopper.
Trimmed/Untrimmed refers to the “entirety” of the surface : it’s trimmed if it was somehow cut by a set of curves, to make it smaller, or cut holes for instance. It’s untrimmed if it doesn’t have any piece removed, which is generally the case when you create a surface from a revolution, a loft or a sweep.
So, in a nutshell, these two words have nothing in common.
As to your question about how to use this surface as an input in your component, there are two ways.
You could simply link the ouput of the Revolution to the surface parameter.
You can right clic on the Revolution component, select Bake to send the geometry in Rhino. And then reference it in the Surface parameter, as you did for the other ones.

Regarding the first answer…
I connected Revolution to the surface.
Indeed, the object turned green color. However, it cannot be specified as it does not convert to an object with an ID.
Regarding the second answer…
I don’t want to Bake it because of conduct rial-time simulations by creating fluctuating surfaces(point).
Alternatively, is there a way to make the baked object fluctuate in Grasshopper?
