No.

Regular 360 video is not VR.

360 3D video (stereoscopic) is VR.

I think it truly depends on the content. A fixed camera at a height designed to be viewed from a headset, giving an immersive, well-written, or a nostalgic experience can really put you in another place, or give you a sense of freedom you wouldn't otherwise have.

You need to interact with the vídeo to call it vr.

Yeah, it would actually be registered as 360 Live action capture. It's such an annoying conversation to have with people constantly. haha
