A jewel socket is not a passive skill in the first place.

(I assume you are referring to the newly released jewel which increases the effect of passive skills.)
It can be whatever you want it to be. Why are you asking?

This is why

Also no. Jewel sockets are their own thing, and do not count as any other type of passive skill.
This chain of comments (and especially the linked one) might be of interest to you.
This is the real reason why GGG releases otherwise-questionable items like this. We learn so much about the under-the-hood mechanics of the game when they do!
Jewel sockets were originally notables, but that is no longer the case.

I could just see that.

"Chris, we've got an issue with the system."
"What is it?"
"This new jewel we've been working on disables itself."
"Well that sounds easy. Fix it."
"We can't. The paradox of a jewel disabling itself when active but not disabling itself when it's disabled has broken the code. Not the game code - the fundamental code that underlies reality."
"...what do you mean."
"I saw the truth, Chris. I saw the Truth. And it told me how to fish."
This jewel doesn't grant anything to the character. If jewel sockets were still notables, nothing would change with regard to the jewel. I don't know when they were changed to not be notables, but I suspect it was a while ago and it's just never come up.
