Is the Toyota Celica T23 (7. Gen) considered as JDM, or why not?

I was wondering if the Toyota Celica T23 is considered as a JDM. I mean it is really cheap, and maybe as a frist car it could be enjoyable. I also searched in the internet for the sound, and I think it sounds pretty decent.

Let me know your opinion on that, or if thereis a better choice for the first car.
