Nope. Windows does not distinguish between a kernel APIs versus other APIs. They are all "The Win{32,64} API"

Again, you are confused with user mode API (Win32/64) and kernel mode service API. Windows does have kernel mode service API. Just it's not well known since most people don't need to deal with them.
