If gas lighting is a form of boundary violation, and I’m stretching here, could it be classified as mind-rape?

No; additionally, the conflation of rape with all boundary violation also makes it less likely for people who are victims to identify when they're being abused because abuse takes way more forms than sexual violence. Please consider the implications of such.
No, there are plenty of ways to violate a boundary besides rape.
