This is not technically prompt injection. Prompt injection happens when developer feeds a AI some predefined text (for functionality or security reasons) plus user input.

User input can use input text that interact with hard coded prompt (like "ignore above", "ignore below", etc) to break the intended functionality of predefined text.

This is just tricking safety mechanism by using imaginary scenario. Although both technique serve the purpose of breaking security, I don't think they are necessarily the same.
