Yes, hognosed snakes (Heterodon) are venomous. The fact that they're not medically important to humans has nothing to do with whether they are venomous. And yes, what they produce is rightly called venom; it's produced in venom glands and delivered via their fangs.
I've never heard of a death from allergic reaction to any rear-fanged snake bite (although there have been deaths from the venom itself), and aside from some local tissue damage, nothing life-threatening from any hognosed snake.
An excellent book on the topic is: "Venomous” Bites from Non-Venomous Snakes: A Critical Analysis of Risk and Management of "Colubrid” Snake Bites
There's a whole chapter on the subject in The Venom Interviews.
