Absolutely, a creature does count as a spell in MTG! When you cast a creature from your hand, you're actually casting it as a creature spell. It's only after it resolves and hits the battlefield that it becomes a creature permanent. So, during that casting process, yes, it's treated just like any other spell.
From first-hand experience, don't forget that since creatures are spells when casting, your opponent can respond! I've had many a creature spell countered before it could even say 'hello' to the battlefield.
Gotta dissent here a bit, folks. While technically true, calling a creature a spell feels weird in casual play. But yeah, for the rules, they're spells until they're not.
