VF - no, settling with power is when you don't have enough power to achieve or maintain the hover OGE but continue to raise the lever, reaching an engine limit and decaying the Nr.

You could end up in VRS from this situation if you continued to pull as the RoD may increase to the point where you have 70% of your downwash speed but often the ground gets in the way first or the pilot transitions into forward flight.
