Yes technically Regina killed her own mother, but Snow minipulating Regina in to killing her own mother, makes it worse then if Snow just killed Cora herself. Now Regina is going to have that guilt of killing her own mother because she trusted Snow. She did try to kill Cora herself twice in the past, but I don't think Regina will think of it that way. Now its twice she trusted Snow and some one she loved died. She doesn't think of herself as the Evil queen, everyone else put the evil in there.

Adoptive parents are certainly real parents! This situation is not a typical adoption case. In a way Henry being adopted by Regina was like a birth mom finding out her child was adopted by a mafia crime boss. Emma was put in a really difficult situation.
