Closed bolt is the original WE design, when the bolt is retracted there's a brass tube visible in the chamber of the rifle. The Open bolt version does not have this visible brass tube. Mags are not compatible between the two version, and the Open Bolt version accepts TM style hop up rubbers, which gives it a huge accuracy advantage.
Open Bolt when applied to WE rifles does NOT refer to the same thing it would when referring to a real firearm. The "open bolt" WE m4 fires from a closed bolt position.
