There's a pretty clear distinction between a web server and a reverse proxy if you work in the field.

I've got over 20 years of experience in the field. I've configured both of them as reverse proxies and web servers.

If Nginx is accepting connections on ports 80 and 443, terminating SSL, and responding to HTTP requests, that makes it a web server. Especially if it's responding with static content.
