Does a 'D' visa count as a 'Schengen' visa?

Upvote:2

Yes, a D visa is still a "Schengen visa". The Schengen agreement originally had A, B, C and D ones:

From The Schengen acquis (page 411):

In order to facilitate matters for the control authorities, this heading specifies the type of visa using the letters A, B, C and D as follows :

A: airport transit visa
B: transit visa
C: short-term visa
D: long-term national visa

For visas with limited territorial validity and group visas the letters A, B or C shall be used depending on the case in question.

but B is now defunct.

Page 462 (ibid.) has a table of fees:

where visa types are further differentiated. C3. and C4. may be referred to as "MEV" and all of C or just C1. and C2. as "uniform". Visas with limited territorial validity may be referred to as "LTV", visas issued at the border as "BCP" and airport transit visas as "ATV".
