This is correct, both structural-mount and YSDL just define a compound schema/data model. The term "mount" is IMO more connected to combining data trees (as in NFS mount).
There are actually two aspects to this, which are related. Sorry to dump a bunch of UNIX specifics on you, but that was the best analogy I could find and that's how the term 'mount' got used for this area.
The central idea is that a file system implementation living under a particular mount point not only abstracts where the data actually lives (as is the case for NFS mount and draft-clemm-netmod-mount), but it also allows for different types of objects and operations on them: VFAT does not support device special files and Ext4 supports a host of ext4-specific ioctl(2)s on its files. This difference in capabilities maps to the problem being solved by draft-bjorklund-netmod-structural-mount (and ysdl, but I have not read that yet).
