I like this characterization. Yeah, I really don't know about the bit about "application layer". One view says that the application layer is a broad and welcoming church that accepts many things and that HTTP/2 is really just a component of HTTP, which is very much an application protocol. Alternatively, you might reasonably classify the mapping protocols (/1.1 and /2) as being somewhere else in the OSI model. It's all a bit academic for me, really.
