Tiling is defined as "preparing and cultivating the land". Cultivation is defined as "breaking up the soil in preparation for sowing or planting". Aeration will absolutely break up the soil. That's kind of the whole reason for doing it. It is cultivation, and therefore associated with tiling.
Aeration is not by the same mechanical process as the tool known as a cultivator, if that's what you were thinking of, but that specific tool is not what tiling/cultivation refers to specifically.
