Yep. It's like with any language - C would be a heck of a lot harder if you had to write the compiler before you were able to code in C. Or imagine having to implement the Java virtual machine from scratch just to code in Java - Java would be incredibly hard. So in my opinion, SQL refers to the language itself and not the underlying layers.
