It is functionally a VR headset though. You are still looking at two screens, one per eye, just like any other HMD. Those screens happen to display a high-resolution, low-latency camera feed of exactly what's in front of you, making it seem as if you are looking into the real world but you are not. With the right software those screens can display whatever you want them to.

sounds like it's not AR then, proper AR is pass-through

With Apple’s Vision Pro coming out on February 2, developers have also been given notice that they can submit apps for the headset’s App Store — but have been advised to avoid using certain terms and phrases when describing them.

When you scroll to the ‘Describing your App’ section on the Submit your Apps page, Apple strongly recommends using the following naming conventions: “Refer to your app as a spatial computing app. Don’t describe your app experience as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), or mixed reality (MR).”
