This is not a close chain exercise as the distal joint - wrist joint is not fixed. For this action which is (shoulder extension / scapulea retraction & elbow flexion) a horizontal row would be a Close chain exercise, as the wrist is fixed on the bar.
You might want to re-check your definition of a closed chain exercise. This is closed chain, referencing the legs, but not the shoulders. You reference the plank, now that would be a closed chain exercise as the hands are fixed.
Yes, this is a good exercise. And no, it is not a closed chain but rather an open chain. Still good, just the wrong use of the term.
