Even though it's peer-to-peer, if you have two Macs doing personal 
filesharing, they are acting as file servers.  File server being a 
dedicated machine serving files died a long time ago, but machines that 
are set up to do just that are still called file servers.  I have a 
monitor-less Quadra 650 with a bunch of SCSI hard drives on it that I 
use as a file server, but I'm only running the built-in file sharing on 
Mac OS 8.1 with it.

Under Mac OS 7-9, the only difference that shows up on a network between 
personal file sharing and an Appleshare server is how many users can 
connect to the computer at one time.  At least as far as I know.
