I cannot see this concrete column doing much if it wasn't connected at the top to a frame.

If the intent is to stiffen the wall against movement "up & down" on your sketch AND if it is supported top & bottom, then perhaps it's simply a vertical beam. If it's carrying vertical load as well, then you've got a column/beam.
Don't like "shot-nailed" connections for your straps though - I'd call for dovetail slot & anchors to connect the masonry to the concrete.
