It's a bit subjective... Some consider the vegetative stage to start as soon as it sprouts from the soil, while others count it one week after germination.
Personally, I consider it vegetation 2 to 4 days after sprouting, simply because in the first few days, the seedling might not survive. But after 2 to 4 days, you can already tell if it’s stable, and from that point on, it’s up to you and how you take care of it.
In your case, yes, I would already consider it to be in the vegetative stage.
