Installing self-hostable services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? (jlai.lu)

It is selfhosting when YOU set it up and CONTROL it.

Doesn't matter what machine it runs on. Not everyone has the option of running a machine at home.

If you can't run a machine at home then you can't self-host. You're welcome to cloud-host though.
