I've not heard chorus used in a context other than in the context of singers.
In organ terminology, the reed stops are divided into "chorus reeds" (the loud ones, such as trumpet or bombarde) and "semichorus reeds" (the funky-sounding ones such as vox humana and cromorne). I don't know for certain, but I don't think these terms have anything to do with the idea of accompanying a chorus, but are rather an analogy to the sound of a full choir versus a semichorus. Certainly many stops of both types are not suited to accompanying singing.
