I think "Numerus" may be a term that became standardized, but could have been used in its original context as simply "regiment" or "military unit" as well.
The Notitia clearly makes a distinction between units called Numeri, Legiones, Alae, Cohortes, and Cunei (also a new style unit, probably a 1/2 ala based on Arrian's Tarantiarchia). Milites and Equites too although these are probably part of the name, not a type of regiment.
