No I woldn't consider it a macro. For an online contest it can depend on monitor resolution, but typically the object should appear to be the same size or larger than it would appear in real life.
I do believe in the past, close-up shots work for macro contests on dpchallenge for people who do not have the ability to do a true macro shot.

Macro or perspective?

Well, I'm pretty sure this would qualify:

don't forget it's easy to put a magnifying glass between the camera and the subject |

I believe the definition of macro in its proper sense means the subject appears the same size in real life as on the physical sensor. So for a 35mm sensor, something that's 35mm in diagonal would fill the frame.
In the case of DPC I think the challenge description mentions "or at least an extreme close-up", which I'm taking to mean something that shows lots of detail you otherwise wouldn't see without looking closely at the subject.
