No, an operating system usually consists of a kernel (its core component) 
and a collection of applications that use kernel functions.

Your definition of "application" is uncommon at best, probably outdated or 
ill-informed.  With PHP 4+ – where source code is JIT-compiled to bytecode 
which is processed by the Zend2 engine (a virtual machine) – one would 
usually develop web *applications*.  I have been and I am employed as "Web 
application developer".
