<p>I know the difference between CGE and input-output models. 
But can an input-output model be called a equilibrium model?</p>

This site says input-output covers the demand-side  and assume there are no capacity constraints  https://www.gov.scot/publications/cge-modelling-introduction/     .  Not sure if an input-output can be called an equilibrium model.

My guess is yes if you can find particular solutions that satisfy it. What exactly is your intention after classifying it as an equilibrium model?

I think you are right, Mike J. Thanks both for your answer! :-)
