Yes, you are right. I assume as far as accessibility is concerned both 
control may have similar if not equal characteristics. When I was saying 
button I assumed I will get universal reply correcting possible mistake 
I might have introduced.

Inside the UI xml definitions there is can_focus=false however this is 
then changed to true using the code. I can correctly focus the button I 
can also recognise it using flat review. I can only see it's a button 
but not its label or accessible-label.

I am currently playing with the cainteoir-gtk[1] application. However I 
am interested to know what I am doing wrong so I will be able to 
understand how accessibility is working at least to certain extend. I am 
in contact with its author and he joined my effortand tried to follow 
gnome accessibility guidelines adding tooltip, accessible-label and also 
accessible-descriptions to both the button and also its icon-witget 
however still I am unable to recognize that label nor description. Do 
you have more ideas? If you like you can see all the changes I am 
tallking about in its master branch.
