POTM is the macro-enabled flavor of POTX — same OOXML template package with VBA allowed.

About the POTM format
PPTX is the modern PowerPoint deck: a zip of XML parts describing slides, shapes, text runs and media. That structure is exactly why text can be extracted faithfully without PowerPoint — every word on every slide is in the package, with its slide number.
One honest limit: extraction is about words, not looks. Slide layouts, backgrounds, animations and images do not survive a text export — the output is the content of the deck, not a picture of it.
