Yes, programming is programming....but there are lots of things which cannot be done in batch scripting such as complex mathematical calculations.

Basically you're asking what the difference is between a scripting language and a Programming language.
In very general and oversimplified terms you can say that scripting languages can control the behavior of one or more programs while the programs themselves are created with a programming language.
In case of Batch, it is a very simple scripting language which main purpose is to execute program files in a specified order. So it doesn't work in or do remotely the same way as programs.
