We'll have the same discussion when holographic (HoloLens) porn becomes a thing and some pedant points out that it's not real holograms.
3D stereo video is also not really 3D, but dual 2D images creating the illusion of 3D in the viewer.
It's true that the person who invented the term 'virtual reality' was building headsets that presented digitally generated worlds, but back then (the 1970's) there was no 360 video.
Also, when vr porn is recorded in lightfield it may be possible to move around the (recorded) scene.
The distinction between digital and recorded will likely become blurred as the tech advances.
