No. You are not. What does your lisp do when it "sees" the expression

  (+ 1 2)

...and what is the result?

You put the expression

  (display-message my-message "Info Buffer")

...which gets evaluated on-the-spot, and returns... a window! (what you can
confirm if you follow the code). So your insert-button invocation places a
window in its 'action "place" and tries to call that window as if it were a
function. This can't go well.

Thus the error message.

Once again. Try to wrap your head around the Lisp evaluation model. This will
save you a lot of work long-term.
