in this case do we say MQ Application is a client?
Typically an application opening a connection to the queue manager, see if diagram helps to visualise

Yes, even if it is on the same machine and using a "bindings connection" to the Queue Manager (QM).
Bindings connections use shared memory, instead of the network, so there are some differences (e.g., no TLS/SSL), but they are likely to be much faster.
