I really don't think there's much point getting hung up on the word "suit." After all, an exoskeleton describes an outer shell anyway.

To what extent it is "wearable" i.e. removable, is not exactly clear though. Raiden may very well just switch between the outer human skin and the armor set (the different "suits" as it were). If he can just modify the body for combat, by swapping around the exterior parts, then he would have no need to switch to an entirely different body. Transferring his head and spine between different bodies (his only remaining organic parts) seems quite excessive. Anyway, just my thoughts.
