Still, if the definition of aura abilities includes things like an Inquisitor's Quarry, then the definition still needs looking at.
Quarry does not meet the definition of an Aura ability. None of the Quarry effects have any range.

Presumably the range of the weapons, no?

ADDENDUM:

Here's a funny question: could Nemesor Zandrekh "Counter Tactics" the "Counter Tactics" on an enemy Nemesor Zandrekh?

No, because the rules for Auras care about the range of the ability, not a models weapons. The Quarry rule itself only affects the Inquisitor.

Yes, it can. Counter Tactics is an ability, that affects certain models, with a range.

Auras affect units/models (depending on the rule in question) within range - no target picking required.
Please can you site where in the rules for aura abilities this is the case? All the rules say is that they "affect certain models within a given range." It does not prohibit the effects from being only temporary, nor does it demand they be permanent.

Shooting an enemy unit with ranged weapons affects certain models within a given range. Would you claim shooting is an aura?

Is shooting listed under abilities on the datasheet?

Similarly, I'd rule that an apothecary cannot heal if it was targeted by Counter Tactics.
