Subduction does not occur at this plate boundary because the tectonic plates involved are of similar densities, often leading to continental-continental convergence where neither plate is forced beneath the other. Instead, these plate interactions can result in the uplift of mountain ranges or the creation of large fault systems. Additionally, if the boundary is a transform fault, plates slide past one another horizontally, preventing subduction from taking place. Lastly, if both plates are oceanic, the younger, less dense plate may override the older one, leading to different geological outcomes rather than subduction.

A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
The plate boundary for Unzen volcano is the subduction zone where the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction zone is part of the larger convergent boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).

I think the plate boundary is in the subduction zone.

Yes, a subduction zone is a type of convergent boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate.
It is a subduction zone.
Subduction typically stops occurring in a mountain range when the subducting plate ceases to sink beneath the overriding plate, resulting in the collision of the two plates. This collision can lead to the formation of a mountain range through tectonic processes like compression, uplift, and folding.
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
