Correct! Now, is a directory access a file access? I don't think it
should be.

Why not? It has been forever at least for ext2. Have a look at the
end of fs/ext2/dir.c:ext2_readdir().

I think POSIX even states that this is how things should work.

Those who consider the overhead of ATIME updates completely
unacceptable should enable NO_ATIME on their partitions.

ATIME is the access time for an inode, when you read an inode which
happens to be a directory you are accessing it.
