I dunno what a CS Major would say, even though I was one, once upon a
time, but I'd say "No."
I don't call it a parser until you start tearing apart the text, and
making decisions about what to *DO* in your script, based on what you see
in the text.
In other words, for me to call it a parser, you need to be:
Reading a character/word at a time looking for special words.
Having some kind of if/switch construct which does something different
based on the character you find.
So far, you're only doing one thing: Finding {} and replacing variables.
That's just my personal definition which may or may not match CS standards.
YMMV
