Everything on the heap is a heap object ;-) I guess the term "bytecode" is slightly overloaded. If you mean "the bytecode of a function", i.e. the entire bytecode representation of that function, then yes, that is indeed stored as an object on the heap (where/how else would it be stored?); and "Bytecode" is the C++ class that describes the layout of that object.
If you mean "each bytecode" in the sense of "each bytecode instruction, e.g. LdaSmi", then no: they are not individual objects. They are raw numbers encoding the respective bytecode instruction. In short: 1 function -> 1 AST (with many AST nodes in it) -> 1 bytecode object (with many bytecode instructions in it). Note that heap objects are not objects of the respective class in the usual C++ sense -- again this is the same for Bytecode and all other heap objects.
