I think the defining factor, in my opinion, is the fact that she's not an individual voicebank made for the use of the base VOCALOID4 editor, but requires another program altogether in order to be used (in this case Unity 5).

I would say think of this as a similar situation to Project 575, only on a different platform and different means of usage.

575 were Vocaloids. They were technically possible to import into the regular editor. Maybe this is like Vocaloid for Cubase, to which voicebanks need to be ported. Which also nobody argues isn't Vocaloid...
