Yes, all forms of stealth qualify as sneaking. Stealth/sneak in EQ2 termanology referse to any scout class combat art that makes your character transparent.
Invisibility (also makes you transparent) provided to you by another character or activatable item does not count as stealth/sneak. To use an ability that requires you to be "sneaking" or "stealthed" you must be using one of your own class stealth abilities.
Note: Some creatures see through stealth. This generally doesn't prevent you from using a stealth ability to enable a backstab ability. A common tactic for soloing these targets is to stun them, flip around behind, stealth, then backstab before the stun wears off.
