This seems to presume a crisp distinction between code and data, yes?
That distinction is not always so crisp. Code fragments can serve as data, for example.
But, sure, it's reasonable to say a system is learning but not self-modifying if the system does preserve such a crisp distinction and its code hasn't changed.
