It does get confusing, but I think of it this way: An XServer allows clients to send draw commmands, which it executes by drawing on a "Screen". Xvnc draws on a virtual screen.
It quilifies as an XServer. What confusing with X-Windows is that the server runs where the screen is which is usually the "Workstation" and the client programs often run on the networked or remtoe servers.
