To me it's a JIT if the compiler is needed to run the code.

If it means compile on start, it still requires the compiler to be used at load time.

Non JIT would mean you can distribute the code without the compiler. If you can't do that, its JITTED or interpreted, if instead of requiring a compiler to be present you require an interpreter.
