An access point is when you connect to it. Or is it when it is created. Or when it is created and connected to it. How to classify an access point? I have Wi-Fi, who is this Wi-Fi for me? I did not create it, I got it from the Internet on my home network.

Wifi is a local area network.
Access point - a bridge (level 2 device) between Wi-Fi and some other network - local or provider. (The fact that the provider will allow only one, less often two, to connect at the 2nd level is another matter.)
But the access point is often a router, a 3rd level device.
