It's an interesting philosophical question to think about what a "hoax" implies. For example, there must be an intended audience who will somehow perceive the artifact as something it is not. Without an audience I would rather call it a creative exercise (in hypothetical deception). For example, if someone applied the techniques used in the VM to a private notebook I would not call this a hoax but rather an obscured notebook.
(I'm not saying that you therefore believe x or y, I had just never pondered the implications of "a hoax").
