From the perspective of a non-functional language, it is argument deferral because you're composing your sequence of functions first, which can then be used by later adding inputs for evaluation.
Were you thinking of partial application (not the same as currying)? I would agree that this is not argument deferral, rather it's more like argument presetting.
