No. The bank angle limit of 67 degrees at full stick deflection is a completely separate definition from the 2.5g limit. Obviously, the closer one is to 67 degrees of bank, the more conservative the system will be when it comes to applying pitch input, but at no point will the system prevent response to pitch input entirely.

...I saw that article it's also well detailled...
It also contains blatant minsinformation.

e.g.
...Shortly after the accident, the crew and Air France are singled out without any concrete evidence...
A complete fabrication - at least in terms of the official investigation. The BEA are prevented by their own charter from apportioning responsibility or blame in any for their reports. Obviously the press can say what they like, but that doesn't really hold any weight.

All this helps explain so completely rational rise initially to recover its altitude
There's no way that a temporary drop in indicated altitude of 300-350ft would require a nose-up command of 15 degrees to correct.

...Airbus serve only send "requests" of the pilot to computers, applications accepted or not.
Incorrect. In Alternate Law, the human pilot's commands will override every protection mechanism there is by design.

How to explain that we have put almost two years to find a wreck that was less than 12 km from its last position?
Because deep-ocean search operations are extremely difficult!
