I think that's still unit tests if that "standard MongoDB container" is actually hermetic.

It's pretty easy to make testing stuff like "We'll conjure into existence a loopback network server" hermetic and likewise for the Entity Framework trick where it runs tests against a SQLite db even though that's not how your real DB works, it's often good enough. Containers are something which could be hermetic, but I am dubious.
