Field stop vignetting is 100% vignetting and is not usually referred to as vignetting.
Light loss at the field edge that is noticeable as darkening is what is usually referred as vignetting.

Almost all scopes have some vignetting at the edge of the field due to the size of the diagonal or secondary mirror or the inside diameter of the focuser.
