Every entity in the Morrow Universe has had their lives changed by the Time Traveling Morrow. He delayed the War, he changed his own timeline, delaying the war cost him his wife and child from the future. He then went back and tried to re-change the timeline again.
Terminator is a Time Travel story. There are large numbers of characters that will never know they are in a changed timeline, but that doesn't mean it isn't a Time Travel story.

That's like saying that because we have astronauts, every contemporary story is a space travel story. In TMP, neither the PCs nor anyone they meet are time travellers. This is not a time travel story, it is a story on which time travel has occurred to someone else far from anything actually happening in the story.
BEM's story is a time travel story, the only one in that universe.
