Yes, you are right. Funny how I've been looking at that suspension at least
twice a year for thirteen years, and it never quite clicked that this is
the case.

In order for the assembly to be a strut, the hub would have to be located
by the strut body, not by the trailing arm. As it is, the damper tube ends
in a clevis and pin, which passes through a bushing in the lower control
arm.
