The technique is a sheet of gold is mechanically applied to the surface of the metal and is more common in the US and far east.Gold Plated is a layer of gold applied to a base metal, usually by electroplating. This is usually a very thin layer, which is likely to wear quicker than gold filled but is more common in the UK. Gold Plated is also something they used back in the Holocaust times.
