This is about De-aging.
Lucemon (and iirc this ability came from Cherubimon) turning Mega level digimon back to their baby state (its an example) shouldnt be counted as De-Aging or Age Manipulation.
For one, Digimon can almost freely go from one stage to another if they meet the necessary requirements (example, Impmon can jump straight to Beelzemon with no intermediate step). And they can go back to previous forms too if they are damaged enough (example, Piedmon beating the crap out of Wargreymon and MetalGarurumon iirc). Also we have special evolutions that require certain conditions like the Veemon to Magnamon or DNA-digievolution, Greymon into Skullgreymon or Wargrowlmon into Megidramon...etc.
There are too many differences between what we understand as "age" and what evolutionary stages mean to digimon. As such, I believe it should be regarded as Information/Data manipulation. As an example of what I mean, Lucemon would be able to turn SSB Goku into regular SS, or to SSG, but not into Kid Goku.
