Is it using margin if I owe a 5k outstanding on my Visa but have nothing on margin at my brokerage?

Say I have 5k in margin at my brokerage, but own nothing on my Visa?

I personally use a margin account as a flexibility -- can buy this week but sell next, or buy now and send the funds in three days. I've never been one to swing for the fences with margin or otherwise. I'm not nearly good enough a soothsayer.
