Of course it's commentary! Dang, are we gonna disagree on everything, which translates to, are you gonna be wrong about everything?
Anything added to the text, in a way to help you better understand it, is commentary. It's a person's opinion on how to better understand what appears in the bible. No one has ever claimed that the words that appear in parentheses is "Divine" or "Inspired", therefore, it's commentary.
