I'd like to think 4) is actually Containerless or PaaS - "I want to run App". Serverless or FaaS takes this a step further to "I want to run App on demand". What do you think?

I was going to write a point disagreeing with you, but the logic didn't work. The fact that the PaaS implementation used requires scaling in advance, vs FaaS which can scale as requests come in means that you are exposed to one more (important) detail with PaaS - number of instances. So yes, FaaS has gone up the abstraction stack one more step.
