Is this classifiable as breaking the Fourth Wall? If not then what is it?

In "Cyberiad"- polish sci-fi novel constructor Klapaucius creates a simulation of whole universe in order to contact HPLD- extremely powerful race of aliens. After the simulation detected that the HPLD has surfaced, aliens imminently contacted the constructor. After explaining the motives, they gave him recipe of substance, then they have shut off the simulation. Is this Fourth Wall breaking, or does it only apply to work of fiction and real world? If the second option is correct, then what it is?
