i don't think that's right, you can see from the picture that the disk around the black hole is connected to the star still, so if it was part of the black hole then where does it end. The black hole itself is clearly defined as the region where no light can escape. The name "black hole" is kind of a giveaway as to what part is the black hole, it's the hole part that is black. Quasars are the brightest objects in the universe, they are "powered" by black holes, but aren't the black holes themself

for this picture here for example the black hole is the black part in the middle, not the orange stuff
