Its not programming but it is still coding.
I would have said the opposite; programming is setting up instructions (in whatever form, including pre-formatted visual blocks), while coding is writing up said instructions. The difference lies in whether or not you write the instructions.
Weird: I have just checked if my interpretations were correct, and while the Wiktionary agrees with me, Dictionary.com defines both term exactly the same way! (By the way, it looks like Lexico is now redirecting to Dictionary.com.)

Also checking Merriam-Webster, since you mention it in a further comment: ah, I see it does use the same interpretation as I do! :)
