No, that seems to be a legitimate use of "end-to-end", which IMO just adds further credence to the viewpoint that the two terms are actually orthogonal to topology. Regardless of the other connotations it might evoke, "end-to-end security" is probably best defined as "only the sender and authorized users of the data have access to the cleartext", whereas "point-to-point security" allows for such access to intermediate nodes.
