It is becoming common nomenclature. I think I first heard about Dark Factory / "lights-off" in AI about a year ago now.
There's a similar concept in food delivery, where restaurants that only deliver food (eg Doordash / Uber Eats only) and don't have a physical store for customers are called Dark Kitchens. They try to automate as much of the food preparation as well.
