That definitely fits the Telegraphic description. However, it seems like a special case - the same tactic can be used with pistols at point-blank range (essentially pressing the gun into the target before pulling the trigger). I certainly wouldn't allow a flamethrower or fire-breathing dragon to make a Telegraphic Jet attack at 10 yards. But that's a tangent, and Telegraphic AoA certainly fits for close-range self-defense situations.
