I think the last sentence is really true. And yes, there are libraries that call back into user code, which makes them framework-like in this regards.

This is the kind of definition were 50% will call something a framework and the other half will call it a library then. Not sure if that is really helpful.

This kinda suggests that most node modules are in fact frameworks, in that they accept callbacks.

Callback hell however, is not something I'd associate with a framwork

Yeah, if this is not just an once-off async callback (where you could just use a promise) but somthing more complicated, then this is indeed more framework-like and for me would be a reason to try to avoid it.
