It could be. Traditionally, RPC means that when I call a procedure on the client, it is a stand-in for the same method on a remote machine. When I call Api.Something() on the client, then Something() is to be called on the server. (I should have made that more clear in my original answer.) HTTP could be used as the transport mechanism, but (unlike REST) that is not emphasized.
