I think this is definitely in a gray area. Generally, I view the action of sending an ACK for a packet as saying "I've received the data you sent me, and I don't need that data any more. Don't retransmit it." It's really up to the receiver to decide what that means. The sender can then always safely assume the data doesn't need to be retransmitted. It can't know when (or if) the data ever gets delivered to the next layer; whether that's the application sitting on top of a stream or TLS on top of the crypto stream. Only by receiving data from that next layer in response can the original sender know for sure.
