I would say it's a library available for several languages

Lua fall into that category too. It can be embedded to allow writing plugins or extensions.

LUA is a programming language. Being embeddable doesn't stop something from being a DSL. It's not an attribute that should factor in the distinction between DSL and general purpose programming language.
