That is
one definition, and not the most commonly used one. Merriam Webster also gives:
1 : of, relating to, or constituting a subject
Which is more or less the description I gave. All perception by that definition is subjective because you are the subject of a stimulus.
Also:
3: characteristic of or belonging to reality as perceived rather than as independent of mind.
Still this does not imply that just because something is subjective it cannot be an awareness of objects.
