I consider it a first draft when it's a complete story. Usually I do a revision on it and then take it to my writer's group or other writers who do mutual feedback with me. I then process their comments and do a second draft. The second draft is sometimes shown to a different group of writers for more feedback.
I was at one point collaborating on a story and sent the other collaborator an almost finished draft with a couple of holes in it that needed filling in. I considered that a rough draft but not a first draft.
