Answer:
You have to understand that this is not a question about chemistry or biology, but simply about how far you can stretch the meaning of a word. So there is no definitive answer.
The use of light energy to break a bond in the steroid ring structure (which is what it does in the vitamin-D synthetic pathway) is almost entirely unlike the role of light energy in what is normally called photosynthesis.
Would you consider the exposure of photographic film to be a type of photosynthesis? That’s actually closer to plant photosynthesis than the vitamin D reaction is.
