So what I am asking is, if this isn't considered HDMI audio pass-through, then what is it called?
You have an excellent AVR, but nowhere do I read the term "HDMI pass-thru" in the Yamaha lierature, which is bacause that term does not apply. Your AVR can process audio via HDMI (though not decode HD audio as you mentioned). For your set-up, with player decoding, you have all you need. As I mentioned above, the term "HDMI pass-thru" means the audio and video are simply routed through the receiver to the TV (the receiver acts only as an HDMI switch).
