Gah - semantics! FMC/FMS relates to automated flightpath management whether A/P is engaged or not.
It's an advanced FD/autopilot combination - is that any better?
In any case, the point is that it's a separate and distinct system to FBW, which relates solely to digital interpretation of flight control input.
