All orbits go around a common center of mass which is not the center of mass of the orbiting bodies separately. The Earth-Moon center of mass is still located within the Earth.
[edit] I forgot to mention that the distinction between a satellite/moon and another co-orbiting body had to do with the location of that barycenter being within one of their bodies, if I recall correctly.
