Strictly speaking (as far as I know), hydrostatic equilibrium applies whenever a fluid balances external body forces with the pressure gradient. From Wikipedia:
In continuum mechanics, a fluid is said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium or hydrostatic balance when it is at rest, or when the flow velocity at each point is constant over time. This occurs when external forces such as gravity are balanced by a pressure gradient force.
I think the concept happens to be most frequently used in areas where gravity is the external force, but it could in principle be anything else. So, though I stand to be corrected, I think a droplet isolated in space long enough could be said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, even though the most relevant force is the surface tension, rather than gravity.
