The space around a magnet where the force of the magnet can act is the space occupied by the magnetic field. Alternatively we say that the magnetic field acts in the space around a magnet.

That is a very qualitative statement with little predictive value.

More predictive value is contained in a statement that the strength of the magnetic field at any position in the vicinity of a magnet is measured by the torque which is exerted on a small magnet moment (compass) place in the vicinity of a magnet. This, recorded with the direction the test compass points is actually a mapping of the magnetic field of a magnet.

As a side note, if carefully measured one discovers that strength of the field around a magnet decreases as the inverse cube of the distance when far from the magnet. The field is mostly in the volume near the magnet but the weakening field continues to exist at all distances from the magnet.

What is electromagnetic flux?

The electromagnetic force is a force that is expressed as (or that "shows up as") a "field" or a "group of lines of force" around the source. Electromagnetic flux is a direct reference to those magnetic lines of force. Electromagnetic flux is the electromagnetic field or the group of electromagnetic lines of force around the source. All the following sentences say the same thing: The electromagnetic flux around the magnet was very high. The magnetic flux around the magnet was very high. The magnetic field around the magnet was very large. The flux around the magnet was very high. The field around the magnet was very large. There were a large number of magnetic lines of force around the magnet making the field strength very high.
