Probably. Personally I have never heard anyone saying WMM being a video
editing software. (For that matter, I don't consider VirtualDub a video
editing software either. Granted, you can open videos, select a section
of it, apply a few filters and re-encode it to some other format, but that's
about it. That's not really video editing. It's like saying that the
ImageMagick 'convert' utility would be an image editing program. Not really.
It's just a converter program with some additional features. It's not really
an editor.)
*This* is an example of a video editing program:

This is another: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/
I don't remember any free software alternative right now. As I said,
too low demand + too complicated of a program, I suppose.

The video data may be mpeg-encoded, but that doesn't mean the surrounding
container format is mpeg-compliant. (I don't know if it is.)
It's like you had an mpeg video inside an AVI and then just renamed the
.AVI to .MPG and expect an mpeg player to understand it. (Some players
might actually understand it, but I bet most won't, at least if they have
no support for AVI whatsoever.)
