Being a porn star is a job, in that you get paid for it.
If you get paid for it you are a professional, regardless of the fact that others may be doing the same thing as an amateur.
So, for example, boxers who fight in the Olympic games are amateurs but they can "go pro" and then they get paid for much the same activity. A poor boxer, with a poor record, gets paid less but they are still regarded as a professional boxer.
I think that if you are a professional in something then that something must be a profession by definition.
I'm not sure the quality of acting is an issue. Some porn stars get paid more than others for doing the same thing. I am guessing acting ability factors in there somewhere.
You might say quality of acting isn't the determining factor on how much you get paid. That might be true but it can also be true of actors:

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
