It's...a little complicated in the case of anime.

It's not completely outside of the history of the usage of the term to refer to the addition of voice acting to the initial animation as "dubbing". Indeed, this has importance because for many animated films the voice acting is performed before the final animation is finished, and the technical performance skills required for this are different from those needed for "dubbing" a finished animation.

In other words, original language ~= dubbing is only necessarily true in cases where the voices in the original were recorded with or before the video.

However, "dubbing" is not a term used commonly in the Japanese industry.
