She had an entire section of the movie named after her, appeared on screen for probably about 20 minutes and had about 20 lines of dialogue. That can't be a cameo.

Cameos should be unexpected, often uncredited roles, that usually have at least a little bit of dialogue (but sometimes don't) and are either memorable (see Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore) or are significant (Stan Lee in Mallrats, Stan Lee in any Marvel movie).

The Stan Lee examples show that significance has two meanings. They either play a crucial role or they have some ties to the film (creator, director, writer, reprising a role from another film series etc).
