Default Would this be considered "aperature priority" ? (film SLR)

Minolta X9 film SLR

It has a built in light meter for selecting the correct aperature for the shutter speed (and the other way around). Shutter speeds range from B-1000, and there is also AUTO.

If I set the shutter speed to AUTO and then just adjust the aperature, isn't this the same thing as aperature priority (or Av mode) ?

Just want to confirm, or know the difference. thanks
