No you're not down from playing, just like you wouldn't be down from playing if you tip the valet to keep your car out front when you get there.
If you leave the casino with less money than when you arrived there you are down regardless if it was a gaming loss or from the cost of doing business. An exception is the small percentage of people who just go to the casino for entertainment purposes who really can afford the price, and not overextend themselves financially.
