As you pointed out it always depends on where you put the ends. You could say client-server communication via TLS is end-to-end encrypted and be right if you define one end to be your browser and the other end to be the HTTPs server. The term end-to-end encryption was popularized mostly by chat applications though, where the two ends would be the trusted client devices of the communicating users.
