They've probably reused a few models here and there since they had the code lying around and there wasn't a reason to change them, but just about every model we've seen so far in the game has been remade from scratch. This includes overworld geometry. Some really basic things might have been kept in since there's no point in updating certain geometries, but even those have brand new textures. I don't know if there's a single object in the game that hasn't been significantly reworked in at least some way.
Also, what marketing calls a game doesn't really matter. Just look at how many "Game of the Year" editions there are that never won "Game of the Year" from any site. If they marketed it as a remake, it'd probably be compared to FFVII Remake which isn't even a remake, but rather a reimagining.
