I wouldn't say so, the alpine butterfly stays in the rope regadless of whether it is fixed to an object, which I think qualifies it to be a knot.

But you can't tie two ropes together with an alpine butterfly, so it fails the "knot" test.

A knot can be used to tie ropes together, or to themselves. The alpine butterfly is a loop knot.
