Counting Steven's transformation as a type of corruption muddles the definition of the term too much imo
Not to mention we don't know if Steven's actual corrupted form might look different from Monster Steven's
The truth is that its already muddled in the show; neither the crystal gems nor the Diamonds can describe the EXACT workings of Corruption. Me thinks that the term is already subjective to misinterpretation.
The thing is, everything from Steven's transformation cause to healing process is too different from what we've seen of literally every other corrupted gem (how many times do I have to repeat myself...)
Also if we assume Steven's transformation is corruption then that means he also healed corruption on his own without the other Diamonds' power
However neither Steven nor Rose were able to heal the corrupted gems with only their power, only when Steven worked with the other 3 Diamonds could they actually heal them
Which would mean Steven's transformation can't be corruption

This was self-induced on STEVEN's part, not the other diamonds. Corruption from the light of a diamond that isn't the corresponding one can explain why Pink failed to heal the gems corrupted by White, Blue, and Yellow; and vice versa.
From the information we have about the Diamonds we know which aspects of a gem their powers can affect/alter:
- Yellow - physical form
- Blue - emotion
- White - mentality/sense of self
If we assume Steven corrupted himself then we'd also have to assume his/Pink's powers can affect ALL 3 of the aspects listed above
Therefore by that logic Steven/Pink should've been able to heal the corrupted gems on their own
Except they couldn't, so. Yeah

Then why can PD's power could briefly heal Nephrite of her corrupted state then?
The healing was both incomplete and temporary
Considering the pink color of the rejuvenators it's possible Pink's power can affect memories (like how the destabilizers are yellow and they basically have Yellow's poofing power) so that could've helped Nephrite remember her past and try to return herself to normal. However this is only speculation
Though it doesn't matter anyways bc Steven's healing was complete and permanent (unlike Nephrite as I said above)

If yall are gonna consider the possibility that corruption can occur and heal from never-before-seen ways then you should consider the possibility of the above too
