That is not, by any means, zero-day protection. Nor I have ever heard 
any vendor claiming it to be zero-day protection.

That is exactly what vendors have been pushing. Perhaps difference
vendors phrase it differently...

Vendors are coming in and saying that they can protect against
vulnerabilities before the virii/worms/exploits hit the wires. They've
labeled this zero-day in front of me. What are they calling zero-day to
you? I'd be curious...

Whether you believe this or not is another choice but it's certainly
being said.
