Not really, RNG is all done in game it's not hacking one in like PKHeX. It's just predicting WHEN the shint will appear so you don't have to keep SR forever hoping it will. It will literally tell you, "Wait here for 1 hour and 13 mins, then hit A on this frame" the battle starts and it's the Pokemon you wanted. It's not even remotely close to PKHeX since NO 3rd party programs touch your save file. This is all done IN GAME, not on the PC.
Technically it's not, cheating has to edit your save file or something in it. PC RNG tools don't even touch your save file, nothing does. RNG is more like following a 100% completion guide which could still be "cheating" as subjective, but it's definitely not blatant cheating in comparison to using a save editor. Even Verlisfy will tell you using an RNG is A-Ok; and that's saying something.You could just import your save in Ultra Moon since you have Ultra Sun and catch the version exclusives, then import back to US
It is very much cheating, any sort of memory manipulation is cheating. RNG sniping isn't cheating, but RNG manipulation with external programs is.
By the same logic, NTR plugins aren't cheating since they don't affect your save file, even the ones that makes everything shiny or lets you use infinite Z-moves!
Let's be honest here, anything involving more than vanilla game IS cheating, whether it's to a big or small degree. Arbitrary code execution like that in gens 1-4 or exploiting bugs isn't cheating since it doesn't involve anything external, only the game itself. Peeking in the memory using add-ons, manipulating the game memory values or editing your save ALL fall under cheating in the gaming world whether you like it or not, only difference is that peeking in the memory for RNG sniping is simply a minor cheat. RNG sniping is a thing in general and if done WITHOUT assistance from add-ons, then it's not cheating (eg: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate charm RNG sniping). Also, why even mention that retard Verlisfy? All he does is accuse almost everyone of cheating just to get famous when he has been proven to have repeatedly cheated himself! I mean, come on, how hypocritical is that? During two streams, it was shown he has PKSM on his 3DS and PKHeX on his PC by accident, you don't just have those if you don't cheat, especially when you have also used hacked mons yourself (eg: HA Incineroar)...
