They definitely used revolutionary ideas developed from Mao, but that really falls under standard Marxism-Leninism with influence from Mao Zedong thought.
"Maoism" usually refers to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism which wasn't a thing before Mao died. I think the shining path were the first to call themselves Maoists
debating what maoism is should be left to actual maoists. I'm just pointing out that "maoist style revolutions since WWII" include Vietnam, China, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, etc. all successful.

Does that make their methods any less Maoist? Nepal and China are big obvious ones tho

Sure they borrowed from Mao's tactics definitely, but none of those states would identify as Maoist except maybe Nepal
