Is an attack without a range icon ever a ranged attack, even if it reaches distant targets?

No. Only an attack with a range value or icon is ranged. An attack with no range icon is melee even if it reaches distant targets, so it takes no adjacent disadvantage. Area-of-effect attacks that include your own gray hex are always melee.
