I'm not familiar with the nuances of terminology, but I would expect MITM to only apply when you (and your computer) actually attempt to connect to service A, and a malicious actor X intercepts that communication. Phishing is different in the sense that you connect to the phishing page directly, and it may or may not replay some of your inputs to the actual service it is phishing.
