A fumble in American and Canadian football occurs when a player, who has possession and control of the ball loses it. By rule, it is any act other than passing, kicking or successful handing that results in loss of player possession.

Yup. Which is why I wanted someone to look up the rule book definition.
A lateral being a backwards pass means that it's not considered a fumble. Fwiw, a snap from center to QB is also considered a backward pass and is the reason anyone can pick it up and run it on 4th downs.
