Your list is the same list I get.  It's a list of COMMANDS, because
M-x is used for executing commands; completion gives you a
context-dependent result.

If you want to see the list of functions, commands and variables, go
to the *scratch* buffer (for example), type "x-" then M-tab.  You will
get the functions and variables listed as well.  Functions and
commands end with <f> in the completion list.
