And what misguided doxographer told you that Yogacara equates vijnapti-matra 
with "ultimate nature" (whatever the blazes that might mean)? If they 
charged you money for that information, time to get a refund.

Au contraire, then one sounds EXACTLY like a Yogacara. What one sounds less 
like is the doxographers who, without understanding Yogacara, insist on 
telling you what they claim.
