Its a more beast like transformation that makes him stronger and has some similarities to luffy's awakening. Dont think kaido straight up saying he has awakening is necessary. Especially when katakuri had it and acted like him having it was plain obviously something he could do.
Kaido himself even explaining how zoan awakening work to luffy even clarifying the difference between zoan and paramecia awakening. Kaido himself being the strongest zoan
Doflamingo had it, katakuri had it, Like kaido and linlin are obviously awakened
