Marcin Łukaszewski, who is in charge of community and social media at CD Projekt RED, has clarified on X that Songs of the Past is considered an expansion and not a DLC.

The studio is making a clear distinction between the two. A DLC is free content (such as outfits), while an expansion includes substantial amounts of content spanning several hours of gameplay with a new story, characters, and more. Thus, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past is a true expansion.

Sure thing! For us at CDPR, DLCs are small pieces of content we release for free — like the additional outfits for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Expansions, on the other hand, are major pieces of content providing lots of hours of gameplay, including new story, characters, etc.
