I was wondering if Flat Bench Dumbell Presses are a compound exercise just like the Bench Press?

Yes to me they are a compound movement..
Absolutely
X2 I agree with all of the above.
Compound exercises are multi-joint movements that rely on the coordinated actions of several muscle groups to move two or more joints through a range of motion. Both the barbell and DB bench press use both the shoulder and elbow joint so they are both "compound."
