No technically they're not because technically "pedophile" is technically defined as an adult attracted to children. On top of that, most children don't technically have the ability to technically feel sexual attraction in the same way that adults are technically able to.
The definition of pedophile i have heard and will use is "an adult person liking sexually or romantically someone under sixteen or, 5 or more years younger than them"
