No, Delivery confirmation is precisely what it sounds like.

Verify delivery with Delivery Confirmation. Our low cost Delivery Confirmation service gives you the date, ZIP Code™ and the time your article was delivered. If delivery was attempted you will get the date and time of attempted delivery. You can easily access this information with our Track & Confirm tool.

For proof of mailing, there is a Certificate of Mailing, which is basically what you said, proof that you mailed the article. There is also Certified Mail, which is the equivalent of Registered Mail for documents. Items like legal motions and contracts are often sent via Certified Mail. It's also common for people to send their income tax returns via Certified Mail.
