There are people who'll argue that it's such a new term that it doesn't have a set definition so they can apply it to anything they want, but I think you're right. I really think it cheapens the term to apply it to every canon where there are potential same-gender couples who don't ever actually get together, or every time a character is single for a long time and doesn't turn out to be gay, or every time two same-gender characters are in an intimate situation. Queerbaiting requires the knowledge that an audience exists for queer characters and queer ships, the savvy to know how to appeal to that audience without being explicit enough to offend other parts of your audience, and the desire not only to attract that audience but to exploit it. Just ship teasing and subtext can be done in a completely non-malicious way.
