Yep. It's established that small changes jump world lines, and game-breaking changes jump world trunks (like alpha -> beta). He's looking for a way to jump from beta to gamma, or as he calls it, Steins Gate. And his best theory is to create a quasi-stable time loop on the following guess:
The important thing to this world-trunk is not that Kurisu dies,
it's that Okabe thinks she's dead, and sends a cell-phone message to that effect while the Phone Microwave is on.
Through that, he figures he can jump the world-trunk by making her survive
and fulfill the condition above.
So, by your definition, there isn't any time traveling in this series at all. They're jumping to different times in different worlds... which I'd call time traveling.
