Sort of.
Almost all visual languages use the graphical interface to create a
single program - the graphical equivalent of programming in Python or
similar.
Typically the objects in their flow charts (or whatever they use) are
functions or other programming objects that exist within the program.

The difference with VICI is that it uses existing programs - such as you
do with a bash script.
