Technically, that qualifies as esports, but when people talk esports, they mostly refer to team-based PC games which aren't big in Japan. Those are the games they're thinking of adding to the Olympics

I don't mind if the IOC opens a separate E-Olympics event, but it shouldn't be part of the Olympics proper.
