I think it is. Vampires may not be properly breathing or metabolizing, but generally I think if it's acting like a person, treat it like one, which means that the rules about necrophilia and such apply.
So is it bestiality when a vampire fucks a werewolf in wolf form? I would tend to say not, because a werewolf is still a person, at least in most fiction, but then there are legendary aspects that seem to indicate that the wolf form is only an animal and doesn't retain humanity.
And some werewolves are considered separate species from humanity, at least in the Old World of Darkness novels.
Which is interesting, because despite all of this, in that universe, werewolves breed with humans and wolves, and it is preferable to do so, because werewolf/werewolf mating was often bad news, as the offspring would be sterile.
So it's not really a species barrier. On top of that, or werewolves generally involve themselves in bestiality all the time.
If you're looking for it, you may find it in sources that describe the rules for Werewolf: The Apocalypse -- children born of werewolf-werewolf matings were called the metis, and not only were they sterile, they often had deformities or derangements.
It's possible that that was the origin of the word. But métis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9tis) also describes someone of multiracial parentage, and there are a group of people called the metis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9tis_people_%28Canada%29) in Canada.
Considering how much of W:TA's mythology was supposed to resemble Native American mythology, I think I may have spotted some kind of RaceFail.

And wasn't Metis the Mother of Athena whom Zeus swallowed to prevent her from giving birth to a son that would kill him?
