Dictionary.com defines autograph as “something written in a person's own hand, as a manuscript or letter.†It seems, therefore, that the covers in question are indeed “autographs,†assuming that they are authentic.
For the same reason, this cover in my collection can be said to be an autograph since the sender, American-Armenian author William Saroyan, addressed it in his own hand and, especially, included his name in the return address:
I know that it's authentic, because his son, Aram, confirmed it, and various other attributes confirm that authenticity. For details, go to my web page, William Saroyan posts a letter. The web page includes information about the joint issue of U.S. and Russian stamps which commemorate Saroyan's life.
