From wikipedia:
"Steganography is the practice of concealing a file, message, image, or video within another file, message, image, or video."
However this can be done in many different ways where having a filler text is just one of these way. Invisible writing is one form of steganography, but something very different from what I am referring to.
"The advantage of steganography over cryptography alone is that the intended secret message does not attract attention to itself as an object of scrutiny." However this is not what we are talking about in the case of the Voynich.
So for these and other reasons I steganography is not nearly as useful term as filler text or null text.
