That is the usual meaning of the term "application model" in software development. However, Microsoft seems to use the term "application model" slightly differently: they use it to describe a pattern of components needed by a particular type of application. Hence they refer to "ASP.NET Core MVC" as "an application model representing the components of an MVC app". Elsewhere, they'll say "Windows Store application model", "Visual Basic application model.

... "The application model defines convention abstractions that provide a simpler way to customize the behavior of the models than overriding the entire model or provider. These abstractions are the recommended way to modify an app's behavior." My take is this is a pattern representing a category of applications - NOT the model of a specific ("your") application.
