No it isn’t. Quoting your own source “ Live vaccines contain a weakened or attenuated form of a virus or bacteria.”. That is not what is suggested here.
Intentional infection through controlled means with the contagious virus hasn’t been used since Smallpox (as opposed to pox parties). There is no accepted term. The meaning was immediately clear to me on first reading it. It appears to be a successful reintroduction if a word for an analogous purpose. It’s even unique enough to be googleable.
A true “live vaccine” is different from “live-attenuated” vaccine. (you’re right re the link, it doesn’t make the differentiation clear and is poor referencing on my part.)
Due to the increased risks of “live vaccines” (and the ability to attenuate the infective agent in the majority of cases) they are rare but they do exist and are the subject of research.
For example:
Used for military personnel: Adenovirus vaccine contains live adenovirus

(for “croup” rather than disease caused by sendai virus)
Using a live unattenuated dose of COVID to stimulate immunity would fall into the live vaccination category.
