Well aside from the material and what you would call it specifically, I'm asking if a regular glass you would find in a kitchen would still fall under the cup category.

No, because regular kitchen glasses are neither bowllike nor usually have a handle or are used to serve soup or tea. Glasses are usually used to serve cold liquids as opposed to cups.
Wait, just to clarify, I'm talking about this kind of glass, not a wine glass
and also, I'm talking about cup in the general sense, like how you would call a hammer a tool just as you would call a screwdriver a tool. I also ant to know what makes something a glass besides the material of glass, like, what if the image above was made of plastic, like this
If it is used as a block for building something, then yes, I would say that it is a metal brick.
On the side, I would like to ask, in your own words, (not a google definition) what is a cup? What does something have to be in order to be a cup regardless of material?
Definition of cup is vague. I can't say much about it other than that "glass" never refers to cup, and "cup" only refers to a glass when you say "glass cup". Or, well, I've never heard anyone refer to anything made of glass by just saying cup.
