Obviously the pilot can choose to climb at constant IAS if aircraft capability permits
Climb speed refers specifically to Vx or Vy. It is not common to split hairs on it having it mean anything but Vx or Vy without specifying the condition of flight.

All aircraft can climb at a constant IAS. If you do that however, you are not at Vx or Vy.
