After some personal research, cloning usually uses somatic cells (aka non-reproductive cells) to make the same genetic copy of one animal, this is using reproductive cells and combining DNA from two animals, hence the difference. If we're talking about embryo-splitting "cloning", embryo splitting is creating an artificial twin by splitting the embryo into two, they're different from this procedure. All in all, I wouldn't call it cloning, this is more another form of artificial reproduction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_reproduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_reproduction) of which cloning is a category of.
