Why not? The definition of a satellite is an object orbiting another object. And the Moon doesn't have a completely stable orbit either. It's just a more stable orbit than these objects have

Then all the planets, even the solar systems are satellites, because we're orbiting the galaxy core, I don't say that your definition isn't correct but it's imo incomplete, that way we could say that are the spacial trash orbiting the earth are satellites and I don't think that it's correct. Just my opinion :).
