Again, let me use the definition. " An  attending physician / attending surgeon  is a doctor who has completed residency and practices medicine in a clinic or hospital, in the  specialty  learned during residency."

That's exactly what Addison does at the hospital where she's visiting or has privileges: she practices medicine without supervision in her specialties learned during residency.

The attending you mean is for the hospital/private practices pages, not for the characters. On the hospital pages, Attending means being employed at that hospital as an Attending surgeon in a certain specialty. On the character pages, it means that the character has completed residency of a certain specialty. If we wanna be really, really accurate, it's only correct to add General Surgeon Attending to Alex's, Cristina's and Jackson's infobox, though it would confuses readers, that's why I suggest to only put it in the career section of their pages.
