    As long as you're not fooling the search engines to think that your site is something that it's not just to get a high ranking then your not cloaking your site. Just make sure that all tags and descriptions you place in your code are related to what is displayed on your site

    Nope, that is not cloaking.
    Cloaking is showing different content to search engine bots and normal users upon detection of their headers.
    There are other types of cloaking too like 'link cloaking', which shows a different link in the status bar upon a mouseover than the link to which you will be sent upon clicking.
