According to the FAA (USA): ...
Near Midair Collision (NMAC) - an incident associated with the operation of an aircraft in which the possibility of collision occurs as a result of proximity of less than 500 feet to another aircraft, or a report is received from a pilot or flight crewmember stating that a collision hazard existed between two or more aircraft.
In this case ...
. TCAS RA and subsequent avoiding action by B737 due possibility of a collision;
. B737 crew reports miss by 200FT
. B737 crew submitted report.

NEAR MID AIR COLLISION is what has happened!!
Yep ... guess this one qualifies !!
