No, it's used intentionally. They are different things. A payment app is any app that handles payment requests forwarded to them by the UA.
A payment handler is a new feature of the web platform that handles PaymentRequestEvents.
Therefore a web app that employs a payment handler is a payment app.
If you think that is not clear from the spec please can you suggest some edits?
