DescriptionMicrosoft Key Management Service (KMS) activates computers on a local network, eliminating the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft. To do this, KMS uses a client-server topology. KMS client computers can locate KMS host computers by using Domain Name System (DNS) or a static configuration. KMS clients contact the KMS host by using remote procedure call (RPC). KMS can be hosted on computers that are running the Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems.

I would like to know if windows server 2012 and 2016 are also controlled by ms-kms application.

KMS won't be going away anytime soon. You'll find some descriptions in the app-id database that are outdate like this. Essentially if the signatures don't ever need to be updated, it doesn't look like PAN circles back and update the app-id descriptions on a regular basis. (Makes sense really, that would take quite a bit of time that isn't really needed).
