First off, it is indeed VoIP. Anything used to make voice calls over the internet is VoIP.
Second, I'd be very wary of the License terms. This is from the same guys who brought you the massively spyware infested Kazaa. While the Beta's of Skype are Spyware free, I'm hesitant to expect that it will remain that way, and knowing their rep, it likely won't even tell you when it does install some spyware.
I'll stick to the occasional voice chat over iChat AV or MSN.
On the first note, anything that does Voice over IP is VoIP, not just H.323 or SIP applications. VoIP is a generic term for such applications, as is P2P. Skype is a P2P based VoIP app, as opposed to the normal Gateway based VoIP implementations. Different implementation, still VoIP.
