Most of us would call that counting, or spacing. Enumerating would be like A=1, B=2, etc.

I'd consider it enumeration. A=1, B=2 is no different than 1=A, 2=B, which is what you're doing. Every character is enumerated, assigned a number, and then you arrive at a meaning by iterating through multiples of a given number.
