Inasmuch as every PDF still has the URL to the original page, for my uses - I'd say yes, it is bookmarking.

Its not like I'd cut the spine off every book in my library and create an index out of the covers ..

Apparently only Firefox saves the source URL. In PDFs saved from Safari or Chrome on macOS I can't find the URL anywhere. Maybe I'm missing something.
Interesting. For me, its right there on the bottom-left of the footer, always.

Weird. It's not in there when I store it.
Try checking "Print headers and footers" in the print dialog.
Lets compare versions just so I know this feature isn't going away any time soon.

Safari 13.1 here, MacOS 10.14.6...
