What is and isn't SMT is a pretty simple question with a simple answer.

If you were to just simply look at all the games that use Shin Megami Tensei in the title then it's SMT.

So mainline, Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3, Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Children, Shin Megami Tensei Card Summoner, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner Raidiou Kuzunoha 1, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha 2, Shin Megami Tensei Soul Hackers and Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga.

Well if you look at the Japanese titles then things change significantly.

DDS is actually just Digital Devil Saga Avatar Tuner, Raidou is the same but without SMT, the first Devil Survivor is Megami ibunroku, so is the first Persona, Soul Hackers is Devil Summoner Soul Hackers but the first Devil Summoner is Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner and Card Summoner is Shin Megami Tensei Card Summoner and Devil Children is Shin Megami Tensei Devil Children.
