Yes, it does. Coding is specifically the deliberate use of tropes or stereotypes to imply that a character is part of a specific group without actually stating it, and is traditionally used to get around publishing restrictions or outright censorship.

It's certainly fair to say that a character reads like a stand-in for X group, and to discuss why, for example, certain stereotypical behaviors are used to show a character as poor, a criminal, Not From Here, etc. But if it's not deliberate, it's not coding. It's interpretation.
