Pretty much. Although I wouldn't consider that a true 'programming language'. I would consider that more of a scripting language or a macro language.

A programming language at its most basic should allow the programmer some way to execute the basic operations.... Load, Store, Branch (If/Else), Jumps, and Arithmetic.

Generally also they will have what is called a 'Formal Grammar'.

Most compiler language parsers use a formal grammar specification to check syntax.

For instance, you can say a programming language might follow this grammar:

(I'm enclosing grammar 'objects' in parenthesis. := means 'is')

(statement) := (function)(;) or (expression)(;)
(function) := (identifier)( ( )( ) )
(expression) := (identifier) (=) (expression) or (identifier) (mathop) (identifier)
(identifier) := (variable) or (number) or (procedure_call)
(mathop) := (+) or (-) or (*) or (/) or (^) or (%)

And so on and so forth.
