I believe in this version he is tasked with corrupting the world and while his "code" is to disobey God he ultimately serves God (a paradox, maybe) as the Adversary.. his role in the cosmos is to spread evil, it is the role he was given.. so it's kind of hard to say if he is PE since a fully omnipotent God allows Satan to exist to test faith and said Satan was needed for Jesus to fulfil his destiny.

Even if he does have Moral Agency (which may also be the case as angels do have agency) he is still, arguably, doing his role more than anything - in the context of the film.. Satan's task is to test Jesus and mankind, thus you can say every evil thing he does in this film is part of a Divine plot.
