Context is just as important as the actual meaning of the word "Database". In SA-MP, as playboy12 explained, we generally distinguish data saving structures as either "file systems" (dini, y_ini, ...) and databases (MySQL, SQLite, ...) therefore what the defenition of "Database" IS, is not of importance--as in, we don't need to know the specific categories to explain our problem.
In another environment you may be discussing the difference between relational systems, flat files, ... in which case you may want to specify, but again, we don't need to do that here.
I can understand your point though, sometimes it gets confusing when everyone starts calling any type of data-saving a database.
