Does it count as “buying a car” if I have a loan? Or is it only considered “buying a car” if I paid in full?

You bought the car if you own it.

I've got a question off of original poster's question.. Even if you bought the car, doesn't the bank own it technically since they paid the seller?

No. You own it just like you own your home even though the bank has the mortgage.
