No, this is a non-standard definition of "e2e encryption" that I've never heard of. In fact, it's exactly counter to the whole point of e2e encryption. The reason "end" and "end" are specified is because it precludes anyone in the middle from getting the plain text of the message. End to end encryption is supposed to assume "cooperation of the company" as a threat model!
