Missed the section, my bad there; I've gotten more used to finding sections by headers.

And just because our OCs haven't appeared in the show doesn't mean they all count as AU. Sure a majority of OCs here are students at Beacon (or another Academy of their creation) of all ages, though RWBY, JNPR, etc. aren't the only students attending, otherwise the school would be completely empty (technically our OCs are taking up background character space rather than interacting with the main cast). In general characters living in the universe abide to what we've learned about Remnant, being the usage of Dust, having Aura, being human or Faunus (no pixies, vampires, or werewolves). All characters made on the wiki follow what we learn from canon, so they can fit in Remnant as Monty wants it to be.

Quoting from the AU category: "Fanon exisiting in an alternate reality of Vytal wherein significant canonical details may be changed or ommited", so Alternate Universe would be a zombie apocalypse version of the world, RWBY takes place in space colonies, or a genderbent version of everybody.
