IP1/IP2/NA1...etc are unofficial terms made by applicants throughout all these years, to try and understand the stage at which their applications are. Based on the structure and wording of the status in the "Background check" line, they could tell if they are at IP1 stage (eligibility...etc), or IP2 (Criminality ...). These terms seem to be less and less reliable, as status updates on an applicant's account often don't seem to follow the movement of an application across stages.
Although it is indeed very likely your application is still in the first stage (commonly called IP1), there is no sure way to know when it moves forward, except if you order GCMS notes. Those however, are official notes on your specific case.
