Is a flight review required for a private pilot working on a rating?

FAR 61.56 (g) states, "A student pilot need not accomplish the flight review required by this section provided the student pilot is undergoing training for a certificate and has a current solo flight endorsement as required under §61.87 of this part."
My question is, does a private pilot working towards an instrument rating count as a student pilot for flight review purposes? If it's been over 24 calendar months since obtaining their private pilot license or completing their last flight review, but they are in the process of obtaining a different rating, do they still need to complete a flight review before continuing on any more flights?
