Is Nidalee's Takedown an auto attack?

I have noticed some inconsistency on how this is addressed in game. I don't think the tool tip explicitly says that Takedown (Q in cougar form) is an auto attack, but it is implied. However, while Pantheon's passive blocks Takedown, Jax's Counter Strike (E) does not. For Nidalee players and those playing against her, could we get some clarification on why these interactions are as such?

I think jax's E blocks the Autoattack damage but not the bonus damage from the spell.

It's classified as an " On hit effect" ala rengar and nasus q's.

From the wikia: Takedown is an on-hit effect ability. The triggering attack for Takedown will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal. The bonus damage will apply life steal in spite of being magic damage. The attack is alaways displayed as a critical strike as long as the target is marked as Hunted, presumably for reasons of clarity. The bonus damage from Takedown is effective against structures. Takedown-enhanced attacks will ignore Counter Strike.png dodge, but will be blocked if they are Riposte.png parried or Aegis Protection.png blocked or if Nidalee is blinded.
