Not, I think, in the sense you mean. Cheese, all cheese, is processed to an extent. Cream cheese, similar to Farmer's cheese, is less processed than other soft or hard cheeses. The hardness of a cheese is dependent mainly on how 'hard' it was compressed in a cheese press, to remove the moisture. Some cheeses, like mozzarella, are processed differently and aren't pressed to remove moisture.

Farmer's cheese and cream cheese are pressed only enough to form into shape, retaining much of their moisture. Cottage cheese is unpressed, merely separated curds and a little whey (the liquid left from making cheese).

American cheese or more correctly 'processed cheese food', isn't cheese at all in the true sense of the word, it is a mixture of vegetable oils and milk solids processed to produce a cheese product similar to a soft cheddar.

So, no, cream cheese is cheese, not a processed cheese product, in this sense.
