Hi, I'm sure you'll excuse my naivete, but at least to my mind, a box performing packet forwarding service between different interfaces (be they logical or physical) to carry traffic where it itself is not an endpoint, makes a box fall into the general category of "a router".
How it gets it's address(es), or whether it additionally performs NAT or NAT-PT functions shouldn't make a huge difference with respect to whether it is characterized as a "host" or a "router".
