Well, no.
If one holds a belief in a god or gods, they are not an atheist, regardless of their views on naturalism.
If a deist believes in god, they are not an atheist. If they do not believe in god, then they don't even believe in their own reasoning for the existence of god. Which would mean they're not a deist.
Apparently according to one definition, deists aren't really theists. It's a weird one.
