Poker is a game of incomplete information because fundamental information regarding each "game" (hand) is not known to all the players - opponents' cards, and cards left in the deck. This is not because an opponent's strategy is not known, and accordingly HUDs have no bearing on whether the game is a game of complete or incomplete information.
Let's put it another way. Even if a player adopts a strategy which involves him playing each combo in a distinct way (e.g. by opening AsAc to 2.00, AsAh to 2.01, AsAd to 2.02 and so on), and his opponent knows this, this still has no bearing on whether the game is one of incomplete information - because the reason his opponent knows his cards isn't the game's structure but rather his (terrible) strategy.
