I'd suggest there is no such thing as unprovoked. The attacker always responds to something he found offensive. In Japan's case, it was the oil embargo and an exaggerated sense of entitlement. Justification is the variable.

It would be a foolish aggressor who telegraphed his intentions to attack, surprise being one of the most important aspects of engagement.

Would war on terror be considered an act of war?

If you are talking about our current war, then yes, it would. The U.S. launched an unprovoked* attack on another country. This is definitely seen as an act of war, even if done with good intentions. *The provocation was a relatively small terrorist group, not the country as a whole, therefore, it could be seen as unprovoked.
