Wrong.
Profile and level define upper limits (for bitrate, res, ref frames, etc).
Simply knowing the profile and level of a tested video does not tell you how close you are to the upper limits.
You need to know every aspect of the video spec. If you ensure that every aspect - res, bitrate, ref frames, fps - is right on the max limit for a given profile and level, THEN you can declare compliancy. So to say that bitrate is meaningless is absurd.
