This looks okay as an interpretation of deontology to me. This may be because it sounds like a nice thing to say about it, and a comparatively mean thing to say about consequentialism, but I can't claim to get consequentialism on an emotional level, so I guess I don't know what's considered mean to say about it.
For comparison, as I read that it sounded like a mean thing to say about deontology and a neutral thing to say about consequentialism. This may be because I have internalized consequentialist thinking so consequentialist related things sound better. Or maybe it is because I naturally associate 'morality as terminal' with 'lies you tell people and stuff you try to force other people to do'.
That's very interesting. If it happened in one direction - if morality being instrumental started out sounding good to you and bad to me - that could explain a lot of the apparent disconnect between consequentialists and non-.
